Poe Family in Oklahoma

Gilbert Poe in the Indian Territory Census of 1900 can be found in Pulaski Co, AR in 1880. He is listed in the will of John Poe in 1859 as one of the slaves.

Former Slaves of John Poe (1785-1859) and son, Thomas Poe

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..

Flo Nell Ozell, a descendant, offers this information:

John Thornton Poe and his brother Mack Poe were among the Oklahoma Poes

Julias Morris (wife of Alfred Price Morris) also in Oklahoma in 1910,

was the older sister of John Thorton Poe and Joe Mack Poe.

Both the John Thornton Poe and Alfred Price Morris families subsequently are found in Burkburnett Texas,

where John Thornton died.

Flor Nell Ozell descends from Julia Ann Poe Morris.
