Marsom Poe

 

(born at least before 1728 - died 13 Aug 1782 Berkley Parish, Spotsylvania County, VA.)

 

(variants include Mersam, Mossom, Masson, and Marsom. Possibly even Miriom or Muriom)

 

There is not reason to believe the person represented in these records was related to the Poe of Essex / Caroline County. DNA evidence suggests this is a unique family, but more descendants need to

The man had a son named Thomas who intentionally spelled the name Powe. This Thomas Powe moved to Cheraw County, South Carolina, That family continues to spell the name Powe. Marsom Poe died in 1787 in Spotsylvania County.

 

 The John Sutton family and the Francis Browning families are associated with Samuel Poe as well as with the family of Marsom Poe as the records below attest.

(signed) Rd Farr; witness Erasmus Powe & Jo McFarlane; wit oath January 1794 by Erasmus Powe; book C2 p. 219

[Erasmus Powe was a descendant of Marsom Poe (d. 1782). Thomas Powe, son of Marsom Poe, moved from Spotsylvania Co, VA to the Cheraw District of South Carolina. The relationship, if any, between the Simon Poe SR family and the Marsom Powe family is unknown. There also is a William Ellerbe Powe]

21 January 1792

Erasmus Powe, sheriff (Chesterfield County, SC) to William Ellerbe sr; for pounds 420 sterling sold 10 Negroes; Wandsor, Will, Peter, Sanders, Milley, Warrick, Selvey, Luce, Jacob, & Peter (sic) "late" property of Richard Farr of Anson Co; sold by virtue of his office [as sheriff] and "authority to Poe by John Chesnut; sold "this day towards" payment "and satisfaction" of a debt secured by a mortgage from Richard Farr to Joseph Kershaw, John Chesnut, Ely Kershaw, William Ancrum [or Anerum] & Aaron Lovcoch [or Loouch] for pounds 1,655.17.9 "old South" money, (signed ) Erasmus Poe, Shff CC; witness John Kershaw & Jno McFarlane; wit. oath April 1792 by John McFarlane; book C2 p25

[Note the two spellings of "poe" are as recorded in the library book]

 

>>> In the next record, William Erasmus Poe is of the family of Marsom Powe who died in Spottsylvania Co, VA. His son Thomas Powe moved to the Cheraw Dist of South Carolina. The relationship of Marsom Powe to the Simon Poe family is not know. It is interesting to find the two families close by each other in the Anson County area. The Dismukes and (Simon) Poe families have at least one intermarriage.

 

8755. January 4, 1822. William Dismukes *(Anson Co) to William E. Poe (Chesterfield Dist. SC); for $5,500 sold 700 ac; border: begins at Thomas Threadgill's corner stake in the ford of Grindstone Cr. joins a road, Doctor Parker, & Jesse McLendon's field. (signed) W.

During the first few years of the Reconstruction period, Chesterfield County’s standard of living was at its lowest ebb.  One source described it as the poorest district in the state.[31]  Many found food scarce, and, according to reports, many often were hungry.  Various programs were begun to provide food for those who had little.  J. C. Evans was in charge of distributing food to the needy.  In August 1866, he reported that 315 people were given “provisions received from Baltimore.”[32]  In a letter from THOMAS POWE to Governor Orr, POWE brought out that “every house (in Chesterfield District) with the exception of two cabins were visited by Sherman’s soldiers & the bare mention of this fact speaks volumes.”  He continued that “By a recent census the fact is established that 650 women are helpless and dependent.”  He ended his letter by commenting on the political scene and noting that “some zealous radical emissaries have been active and persevering … to make interest for their party.  We are forced to reconstruct under the military bill and I think we had best accept it with as good a peace as we can command.”[33]

         Despite Donaldson’s efforts at gerrymandering, the Union Reform Party carried the county in the 1870 election.  In the Senate race, Donaldson received 947 votes to the Reformer Gideon Walker Duvall’s 1,067.  (The total number of registered voters was 1,222 whites and 819 blacks.)  Duvall was a native of Prince George County, Maryland, who had come to South Carolina about 1835.  His first wife was Caroline Powe Ellerbe, widow of Thomas Ellerbe.  After her death, he married her sister, Sarah Rebecca Powe.  His previous public service had included membership on the Soldiers’ Board of Relief from 1861 to 1864 and a term as Commissioner of Roads.
