Family Website (John Poe 1785-1859 married Sarah Threet in Anson Co. NC
around 1805. Sarah was of the Threet family in Anson and in Chesterfield Co.
South Carolina. Presumably these Threet descend from the Virginia Thweat group) Threet Family Notes, Census
Records, etc. Based on
this Ancestry data and my own investigations, and relying much on these
record from Anson County, NC associating John Poe with an Evan Threet, my
best analysis is that Sarah
Threet is a daughter of this Evan Threet, who was a
son of Frederick Threet – see ancestry charts above. Anson County Deeds Typ Deed Ref S-214 Dat 2 Oct 1818 Rec Oct 1818 Frm William Ross To Even Threatt Con $200 Re 100 acres on waters

Elizabeth had been married to Charles Hopkins from the summer of
1802 until his death on October 26, 1805. This prior marriage produced no
children. There seems no justification to the rumor that Elizabeth Arnold was a
granddaughter of the infamous Benedict Arnold. The name of her father was
probably Henry or William Henry Arnold. Her mother was Elizabeth Smith Arnold,
also an actress.
