After death of Tabitha Bywaters Lannom’s first husband, Leonard Lanham, she married Jonathan Poe. Joseph Lannom who married Delilah Browning: RB 5,

[ Note John Neal in 1795 record; Josiah Settle,

and Robert Dixon and Charles
It is supposed that Samuel Poe, son of William Poe and Lydia
married Phebe Settle as his second wife, adding some weight to the idea that
the Caswell County Poe families are descended from William/Lydia]. Also
interesting the Dixon family derives from Chester Co, PA where there were Poes. It may end up that William Poe of Culpeper County is
connected to this Poe group from Pennsylvania.
