*Be
forewarned that there is much erroneous data in this book. For example, the
Revolutionary War records cited do not belong to this Samuel Poe. This Samuel
Poe is almost surely not a son of an Alexander Poe of Ireland who settled in York County, Pennsylvania
and who was of the Edgar Allan Poe family. This Samuel Poe’s descendants still
live near the land where he was born and raised.

During its session begun in October 1780 the General
Assembly passed an act designed to fill the state’s quota of troops for the
Continental Army by drafting militiamen to serve for eighteen months. Culpeper County was required to supply 106
men. This was done by dividing the militia into 106 classes and drafting a
man from each class by lot.

Biog./Hist. Note
|
During its session begun in May 1780 the General Assembly
passed an act authorizing the governor to impress supplies needed by the
American army. The governor appointed commissioners of the provision law in
each locality to carry out the terms of the act. The commissioner, when he
impressed property, gave the owner a certificate describing what was taken.
Between 1781 and 1783 county courts held special sessions at which
certificates were presented and authenticated, and booklets listing
authenticated certificates were compiled and sent to Richmond for settlement. Two
commissioners appointed to settle the claims recorded those for which they
authorized payment, and warrants were issued by the auditor of public
accounts.
