to be Bob and wife Martha mentioned in the slave list, although the 1880 census
seems confusing in regard to ages)

I
am certain the African American Gilbert Poe in the Indian Territory Census
of 1900 is the same Gilbert Poe in Pulaski Co,
AR in 1880 and listed in the will of John Poe in 1859. The age of 35 in 1880 fits the age of 55
for the Indian Territory Gilbert Poe in 1900. And, clearly
we see wife Caroline and Lewis, age 8 in 1880, is next in the 1900 census at
27. Maybe some time a descendant of Gilbert or Lewis or other sons and
daughters will find this data, on my site or independently. I always wonder
what stories about their past with the white Poe may have been handed down
orally or maybe documented. Another former slave I want to track is
Robert Poe. He was 42 in 1870. He and wife were born in http://www.poegen.net/Census/AR/ARgrantCo1870robertPoeBlackNC1.jpg
1859 I'm sure Gilbert can
be found in other census data, and I hope to find it. This man seems to have
been determined to strike out and be successful. Gilbert is listed as a
farmer in |
