George Poe
George Poe is said to be born c 1775 and many charts list him as
a son of James Poe (son of Simon Poe Sr 17-7/8-1793). We assume the George
mentioned below is the same man found later in Fayette County, Alabama. DNA
results of a descendant of Stephen Poe of Choctaw County, MS, who is probably a
son of George Poe of Fayette County, AL, does not exactly match the DNA of
others in the Simon Poe, SR line on a distinctive DNA marker (descendants of
Simon Poe SR seem to have the marker #458=16 as opposed to others descended
from the generation of Simon Poe SR, who have #458=15). Most likely, George Poe
is a son of, or close relative of, the Jonathan Poe found in Caswell
County, NC who is probably the same Jonathan Poe
found earlier in Culpeper Co, VA.

* Marriage bond noted in Ringo book LDS film # 1697802** but not
found so far in MS Territory or Alabama records. Nancy Ringo
mentioned as first wife on widow’s pension application for service in War of
1812. Ringo Family History series states that Nancy Ringo b. c1798 probably in
Wilkes Co., GA, daughter of John Ringo and Mary
Mathis. Nancy probably died after 1835.
The only other Poe in the county in this era is George Poe which
lends substance to believing that Stephen is George's son. Five years later, George
Poe can be found in Fayette County. George and Stephen are both
listed in the Fayette County Census for 1830.

Including: James Poe who died in Fayette County, Alabama in 1827
and is buried on lands that are now private, but were known as Poe Cemetery, is
often noted as being “Major James Poe” and that he was born in 1850. The only
record I have found relating to the Revolutionary War is from the NC State
Archives titled “Revolutionary Army Accounts” (Volume VI, Page 36, Folio 3)
which states that Nathaniel Jones, treasurer, Wake County, NC, paid “James Poe”
9 pounds, 9 shillings. Heading: Hillsborough Treasury Office. According to the
desk at the NC Archives, this volume records payments for supplies (see links
in NC Military).

From Peggy Wade January 13, 2007 Simon Poe married Margaret the daughter of Amon
McMillian and James
Poe married Mary
McMillian another daughter. I found this some time ago in a book of Passports
through Indian Territory, located in the Jasper Al, library. Since these
families seemed to travel together and settle in the same area most likely
they came to Alabama about the same time. "Monday 25th May 1812 - on
application - ORDERED that passports be prepared for the following persons to
travel through the Indian Nations to the Western Country, viz., ---Amon McMillian with his wife and three children &
three Negroes, William McMillian with his wife and three children---all
from Abbeville District." |

Transcript of the John Willingham Bible containing records for
James Thomas Poe and Calvin Poe, etc.
The following data is from the John Willingham family Bible. The
copies were from Audrey Fitzgerald, scanned and forwarded to others by Janie
Healer Davis. (From whom I received them.) It is not known to this
individual how the copies were obtained or who is now in possession of the
Bible. Even these copies are a treasure. I have attempted to transcribe the
data for sharing, and I have saved the jpeg’s to file. Please note that there
are sometimes letters missing from words or names;
apparently due to damage to the pages.

Old Cemeteries of Newtonville by Mrs. B. A. Sullivan as given
at Shepherd Church on June 6, 1965
(This is an excerpt taken from a photocopy of a typewritten
transcript. I do not have a record citing the source of this photocopy)
One of the oldest cemeteries in this community is the Simon Poe cemetery
located on what we people know as the Richard Hayes place. I believe Mr. Arch
Gibson owns the property now.
Simon Poe and his father James Poe, left North Carolina in 1825. James Poe was old
and ill. He made the trip to Alabama lying in a cedar chest that was
made especially for this trip. One of his descendants living in Little
Rock, Ark. has this chest stored in her attic today.
James Poe died soon after arriving in Newtonville.
We suppose he was the first person buried in the Poe Cemetery. There
are people here now that can remember when there were several markers in
this cemetery, but there is no sign of any of them today. The place
has been in a Cow pasture for several years.
The Martin Nall Cemetery is Located not very
far--back of Mr. Bradley Gravlee's home. Martin Nall was
Mr. Buren Sullivan's great grand father.
Martin Nall was born 1795 died in 1836. He was probably the first
person buried in this cemetery. 40 or 50 years ago there was a
number of graves here, but they were plowed up years ago -- there is
only sign of one grave today.
Martin Nall was a son-in-law of Simon Poe. His oldest
daughter, Maria, married Jacob Shepherd. They were the progenitors
of many people in this community.
There was also another large cemetery with a good
many markers, so I've been told, located across the road in front of the
Mute Baker home. We do not know when or who was the first
person buried there.
Michael Shepherd bought this property in 1845 from two Guin brothers. He died in 1850 and was probably
buried there since the cemetery was near his home. His widowed mother, Elizabeth
Shepherd, who was murdered by a slave in 1850, Elizabeth
Shepherd jr. sister of Michael, and also his
brother Richard Hack, were buried here.
George Trawick, the wealthiest man in Newtonville in 1860, was murdered and buried in this
cemetery. The monuments were removed or destroyed and
the land plowed under about 60 years ago.
We would know a lot more about the history of Newtonville and its people if these old Cemeteries weren't destroyed.
There is the Nathan Nall (brother of
Martin Nall) cemetery located near the Leland Gravlee home. The Gravlee family
are decendents of Nathan Nall.
There is also the Wright-Caraway, Brotherton, Savage, and Sudduth cemeteries
all family plots, (there may be others that we don't
know about).

Tuscaloosa News, 1 March 1969
James Poe - Rev. Soldier buried just
inside Tuscaloosa County line near Newtonville, Alabama. Information
on Tombstone
NOTE: it is unclear what was left
of Poe Cemetery in the 20th Century. Reports
seem to conflict. But more than one source states that a few scattered
headstones could be read. I assume “information on Tombstone” was that
this James Poe was a “Rev. Soldier.” I am nearly certain no one ever reported
birth and death dates from a marker for James Poe.
Image of DAR Marker (My research shows that James Poe, son of
Simon Poe SR was at least 21 in 1761, so he would be born c.1740)

McCollum versus Hubbert and Caple
Error from Circuit Court of Fayette Co.
It appears from proof that the land in controversy was sold
by R. H. Poe, the Sheriff of Fayette County, Alabama on 5
October 1840 under three executions upon judgments rendered in Circuit Court of
Fayette Co. on in favor of James A. McLester,
assignee for $50.82, another in favor of T. & R. Simonton due of James
A. McLester for sum of $73.29
& third in favor of James Hogan, administrator of Reuben Jones for
sum of $3,655.66 which last payment was rendered against said plaintiff in
error and Samuel Caple, one of defendants in cause. McCollum, the principle and Caple his surety in original judgment, and
Newman and Joseph McCollum, the sureties on write of error bond. Executors of
these judgments were placed in hands of defendant Hubbert 21 May 1840, he then
being Sheriff of Fayette Co. It further appears that on 1st Monday
in August 1840, Poe was elected Sheriff.

what I noted and what is being transcribed for online access. The differences
are usually in terms of what “column” a number falls within. The census takers
we not good at aligning vertical or horizontal columns on the page. I am going

William Threet Poe - Mary Melton Marriage LIcense
William Threet Poe is this researcher's great-great grandfather.
Mary Melton was his third wife.* W. T. was 58 at this time.
Since 1852, he had been a significant figure in the tiny community
of Belfast, Arkansas (Saline - Grant County). He must
have traveled to Alabama to marry Mary Melton. This would have been
an arduous journey and this is the first time a record
has been noted showing where the marriage actually took place
* He married first Sarah Reynolds, his
brother Thomas married her sister Rosty. Thomas
died. Sara died. then W. T. married Rosty. Rosty then died. He had children from both Reynolds
sisters. He then marries Mary Melton and has at least one child with currently
living descendants.

*See home of William Bynum, below. Bynum and Poe were closely connected in NC. That these Bynums were
born in SC may indicate residence along the PeeDee River where Poes lived on the NC side and Threets and
others who married Poe lived on the SC side. One wonders if the name Jet is the
same a "Jetter" which was first spelled
"Getar" and was closely
associated with the Poe family as far back as Essex Co, VA in 1722.

Married Zeporah Poe,
marriage license dated 25 July 1823 and solemnized 5
August; Tuscaloosa County, AL.
Zeporah Poe was widow of _______ Poe and daughter of Thomas Appling. Absolem Deason conveys
land to Benjamin Blackburn 26 January 1827 in Tuscaloosa Co, AL. He appears as
a witness in February 1920 in Tusc. Co. Absolem Deason, SR buys land
from John M. Davis 26 July 1838 in Tusc. Co one John Deason married
Rebecca Hassell 28 February 1832 in Tuscaloosa Co.
NOTE: John Deason born 1
July 1809 died 17 March 1878
Note: Several sources state that Zeporah Appling
married “William Poe.” It seems likely this William is a member of
the Surry County, North Carolina Poe family.
The descent is Obediah Baker
> Nancy Baker married Thomas Appling > Zeporah Appling
married [William] Poe. It is interesting this group ends up also in the Fayette
County, AL area, where we see at least two Poe groups, one from Caswell County,
NC and the other from Chatham Co by way of Anson County, North Carolina. Also it should be noted that a Baker family is closely
associated with the Poe family in Anson County, NC

from Mrs. Millie Houldridge
2025 Beal St.
Bakersfield, CA
June 23, 1941
Dear Mrs. Gandrud,
I found the following 1850 Census records of Tuscaloosa Co, AL
William I. Yerby aged 28;
Carpenter born in Ala.
Maria 27 born AL
Tollier B. 3 "
John W. 3 "
Enoch Yerby 22 Ala
Maricopa Yerby 20 S.C.
James B. 1 AL
This could not have been the William E. who was the first child of
John Yerby and Sarah Baines. He was born 2
June 1818 and married 21 July 1842. This could have been Ammon's
children. I believe sincerely that Ammon and John, my
great great grandfather were brothers. Mrs. R. Po. Coleman
in Tuscaloosa says that Absolom Deason's wife was their sister. You
remember Absolom Deason was
buried at the Little Church, too. Mrs. Coleman gave me his birth as 1781 and
death as 1817, but the tombstone says born 23 March 1790 died 19 Sept 1857. She
said born in Shelby Co, Tenn. Once you sent me a will of Ammon McMillian dated
13 April 1823 in Tuscaloosa Co naming wife Martha sons Allen, William and
Jeremiah, daughters Elizabeth McMillion, Margaret Poe,
Phebe Rhone, Mary Griffin, witnessed by Thomas Bains and Amon Yearby. These people are relatives because the Poes moved to Prescott, Ark too
and my mother called them cousin. It is my opinion that Everett Yerby's wife Sarah was a McMillian and named her son
Ammon for her brother Ammon McMillian. I know that Everett Yerby born 13 Dec. 1762 and Sarah Yerby born 15 December 1766 were the parents of my
John Yerby because I found their births in
John Yerby's family record. Have written
several letters lately to try to prove the opinion.

Richard S. Fears to Monica C. Poe 18 November by Robert S. Adams
http://www.bobfears.com/view_hist_detail.asp?iKey=3788
dated: 1896 FAMILY HISTORY FOR Monica Catherine Poe
Subject: STATEMENT OF MONICA CATHERINE POE, FEARS
County of Yell, (Arkansas)
M.C. Fears being sworn on her oath says:
My name is M.C. Fears,
usually known as Kate. I am sixty years of age. My
maternal grandmother’s maiden name was Elizabeth or Betty Edwards.
She was born,
as she informed me, the first year of the revolutionary war. She
never remembered
having seen her father, but said he was at home several times
during the war as
she was told, and he died on his way home after the revolutionary
war was over.
I do not remember to have ever heard her call his given name. I do
remember, however,
that when Robert E. Lee became prominent by reason of his
connection with the war
between the states in 1861. My grandmother said she knew he (Lee)
was a relative
of hers by his name. I do not know, or remember whether she meant
the Robert or
the Edwards in his name. She was in some way related to the Lee’s.
If I am not
mistaken, her mother was a Lee. She talked about grandmother Lee, but I am not
positive about that, but it has always been my impression that her
mother’s maiden
name was Lee. My grandmother, Elizabeth or Betty Edwards married
Richard or Dick
Holley. I cannot give the date
of the marriage, or the place, for I have forgotten;
but I do know that my great-grandmother lived in Virginia,
for grandma has told
me often how they had to move around to keep out of the way of the
Tories. They
lived at first in Pennsylvania near Philadelphia,
and went to Virginia to be near
her people and had to move several times. My recollection is, that
she said that
soon after her marriage she my grandmother moved
to Tennessee and settled on Duck
River near Murfreesboro.
They moved from there to Alabama. Of this marriage, ten
children were born;
five of them died while young in a short time of each other, and
all without issue.
I think it was two boys and three girls who died. I do not know
the names of all
of those who died; but one of the boys was named David, and one
Morgan. One of the girls was named
Melviney, usually called Viney. Those who
survived were named Katie Holley, William
Edwards Holley, Nancy L Holly (Holley). (NOTE: Nancy Married Rasy H.
Poe b 1811)
Hearing grandma speak of but one brother. His name was
William, and she called him Brother Billy. She may have had other
brothers and
sisters, and I only remember him because William wrote to her
after I was old enough
to read writing, and I read her letters over often to her, and
this impressed his
name on my mind. The last letter I remember my grandmother getting
from him was
about forty-five years ago. I was then fifteen years of age. In
this letter he
told my grandmother he had been back to the old home to see if he
could do anything
with that leased land, or get anything
for it. That he saw no chance without a
suit, and he was not able to go to law about it. My grandmother
told me of her
uncle, or her father’s uncle leasing some land in or near New
York for ninety-nine years,
and that the consideration of the lease was the improvements on
the land; but at
that time they all thought it would be of no value to any of the
heirs; and just
after the receipt of that letter from her Brother William, is the
last I remember
to have heard her talk about it. When her Brother William wrote
this letter he
was in Georgia visiting some of his children. His home
was in one of the Carolina’s,
I do not remember which. He wrote her he was coming to see her as
soon as he got
rested up. But I do not think she ever heard from him again, and
he did not come.
My maternal grandparents made their home with my parents from the
time I was two
years of age. My grandfather Holley was confined to his bed for
ten years, and
afterwards went on crutches. He died
in Tuscaloosa, Alabama at the house of my
parents in the spring of 1853; and my grandmother Holley died
at West Point, White
County, Arkansas in December,
1861 at my father’s house. My father and mother
moved from Tuscaloosa, Alabama to West Point, Arkansas in
the year 1856. My mother
was a daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Holley and was the Nancy
L. Holley referred
to above as one of their children.
My mother married R. H. Poe in
the year 1832 in Tuscaloosa County Alabama, and there
were born to them the following named children:
William T. Poe, (Note: William Thomas Poe 1833 – 1886
married Lelia A. Brown 1842-1880.
Children
Helen Nancy Brown 4 February 1866 – 13 September 1932; Ruby Poe d. 10 November
1891)
M.C. Poe (Or Kate), (Note:
Monica Catharine Poe married Richard S. Fears on 17 November 1852)
Elijah Holley Poe,
James A. Poe,
Richard R. Poe,
Elizabeth Poe,
Rhoda Poe, and
Nanny Gill Poe.
Nancy L. Poe, my mother, was born Dec. 22nd, 1811, died
near West Point, Arkansas January
1st, 1867. My father, R. H. Poe, died April 1875.
William T. Poe (son of R. H.
And Nancy L. Poe) died April 7, 1885 and left surviving
him as his heirs-at-law, John A. Poe, Helen N. Poe (Now Helen N. Tompkins), Minnie
L. (Now Minnie
L. Brewer), Annie K. And Ruby. Ruby died at the age of twelve years
on November 10th, 1892.
M.C. Poe is myself who married Richard S.
Fears in Alabama at Tuscaloosa November
18th, 1852.
Elijah Holley Poe is still living.
James A. Poe died
in Texas a few years since. He left six children and a widow.
Dick, Emma, Thomas, Willie Jo, Kate and Maggery. His widow is now dead. His children,
when last heard from, were living at Cold
Springs, Texas.
Richard R. Poe is still living.
Elizabeth Poe married Rufus Rudisill and
died in April 1878; she has three children
living; Clair, Zada and Lillian.
Rhoda A. Poe is
still living.
This is all I know of my mother’s individual family. Kate
Holley, a sister of my
Mother’s, married Mr. Frank McCowan in Alabama and moved
to Arkansas Territory in
1830. She had two children. I do not know the date of her death. I
know her
daughter Belle is dead, and believe her son Frank is dead, but I
do not know.
Elizabeth Holley, my mother’s sister married my fathers brother JAMES POE in Alabama.
They moved to West Point, Arkansas in the fall of
1857. Aunt Betty, as she was
called, died in the spring of 1878. She left five children; four
girls and one
boy. Mary Elizabeth, Thomas Burr, Sally, Rhoda
and Eliza. Mary, now Mary Lee,
lives at Cold Springs, Texas, has several children. Burr
married in Texas and
is dead. I do not know whether he left any children or not. Sally
married a
Mr. Moore in Texas, died and left one son. Rhoda died at my
mother’s house in
1861. Eliza married in Texas, I have
forgotten the name of the man she married.
She died. I do not know that she had any children.
Rhoda Holley, my
mother’s sister, married Mr. J. Wright in Alabama; Moved
to Texas
in 1854. She died in 1863. She left several children, girls and boys. Jessy, Thomas
and several boys whose names I have forgotten; and three girls, I
do not remember
their names, but have heard them. William
Edwards Holley, my mother’s brother,
went to Mississippi when a young man as a missionary to
the Indians. He married
and lived there until he died. He died in 1856
at Granada, Mississippi. He left
a widow and four daughters. One Elizabeth married, but
all are dead now unless Elizabeth
left a son. I heard she had one child, a son.
