Benjamin Poe b. 1749 Culpeper County VA states in a Rev. War
Pension claim (see below) that he lived in Wake County, but moved to Randolph
County, NC in 1789. It appears his son Benjamin remained in Wake County if this
is accurate. The claim also states that he lived in Chatham County, NC when he
entered service in 1775. In a 1771
Chatham County Muster roll for the Siler City area of Chatham County, Benjamin
Poe is listed.

* This record confirms
that the elder Benjamin Poe of Wake County is the Revolutionary War soldier who
states in pension files that he was born in 1749 in Culpeper County. William
and Johnson and Benjamin are his sons. They appear later in Allen County, KY
where Benjamin died. However, the War Pension claim (see below) says that
Benjamin moved to Randolph County in 1781. The Benjamin remaining in Wake Co
must be the son if the claim is accurate. The claim also cites Lovel Stinson as
“witnesses” to his claim. See below that Stinson was in Wake Co in 1797.
