Threet
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. Typ Deed Ref
