*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.

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.
