NOTE: 1783 Chatham Co. Pg. 51A
A Deed
from Benjamin Watts and Wife to James Poe, Jr. proved by the Oath
of John Berry, Jr..
The James Poe, JR in the deed above had to be born prior to
1762. HOWEVER, the James Poe JR in this 1800 census is at most 26 years
old (or born c. 1773) according to the
notations.
The James Poe SR in this 1800 record seems to be Maj. James Poe.
But the James Poe, JR is too young to be the same one as in the record from 1783.
However, it does fit pretty well with the age of James Poe, orphan son of
Stephen Poe, brother of Major James Poe.
16 February 1778 William Howard, “gaudn”
of James Poe orphan of Stephen Poe decd, enters 450 ac; border:
Berry’s line on Haw R., runs up the river to the mouth of Brooks Cr, up the “break” opposite James Herndon’s line, up his line W to
Poe’s line, along Poe’s line to Berry’s
line & along Berry’s line to the beginning; James William caveated; proceedings returned to May Court; discontinued
by “ J W” ; warrant issued to “W H” Jul. 25.

Note in the 1820 census, the only James Poe listed still is not over 26, but
has a woman in the household over 45. The Melton family was close to my John
Poe (1785-1859) family. His son, William Threet Poe traveled from
