Samuel Poe serves as witness for Abijah Elmore
against Richard Ward in 1756. In 1793, a Samuel Poe serves as witness to will
of Robert B. Ward. The Ward family, thus, serves to tie Samuel Poe and Robert
Poe together in the historical records. The relationship between the families
is unknown.

One suspects that Elizabeth Poe is Robert's wife as
they seem to have appeared together for one day.
