1. George POE, III b. 16 Jul 1772, Frederick Co., Maryland; d. Abt 1811, near Salem, Montgomery, Ohio; bur. Salem, Columbiana, Ohio.
2. 3. Elisabeth POE b. 22 Oct 1777, Frederick Co., Maryland; d. 1862, Bullskin Twp., Fayette Co., Pennsylvania.
3. Catharine POE b. Abt 1778.
4. Jacob POE b. EST 1780, Near Frederick, Maryland.

Surname was Pfau "Peacock" in Germany. It has been transliterated as Pow and Poe, settling on Poe. The famous writer Edgar Allen Poe was Irish, and had no children. Olive Glendora Poe always swore we were related to him (though that could be wishful thinking), but we are German Poes. Now the writer E. A. Poe said he was only Irish for a few generations and German before that, so we are may after all not related to him, but that would be buried back in time in Europe centuries ago with a branch of our German Poe's moving to Ireland and changing their name to Poe also . A signature of his shows name was originally Pfau.

This family was apparently wealthy and well-connected as they quickly amassed large tracts of land soon after arriving in America. They owned over 1300 acres and used indentured servants to work the land.[Lockhart.ftw]

[EARLBAKE.FBK]
George Poe's origin is not well documented. Legends in our family indicated that the ancestors were Scotch-Irish and traceable to a Dr. Leonard Poe of England. However,several accounts indicate he came from the Rhine River (Lower Palatinate) area of Germany.

Since some residents of the British Islands searched for freedom on the continent before emigrating to America, Germany may have been a temporary residence. However, there was also a large emigration of Palatine reidents to America (Pennsylvania Dutch).

One account indicates immigration from Germany in 1746, but that would have been after the birth of Andrew Poe. There is no known indication that any of the children other than George, Jr. was not born in Maryland.

A family tree by Jeni Lyn Hunter shows an elder daughter, Sophronia Poe, born in 1730, Another accounts suggest she was from another family branch, but this unusual name was reportedly used for a great granddaughter. Other accounts mention both Catherine (Kate) and Sophronia (Fanny) as daughters but give no reliable information on birth dates.

Notes...
Reportedly had large land grants from king near Frederick,MD. Settled by 1742 & revoked 1763 (Daisy Poe Platt, March 30, 1942). Murdered by one of his teamsters, Michael Peck, who was hanged. Peck was a Dutch indentured servant. Two accounts (Tom T. Jones & Adam Poe, Sr.) cite immigration in 1746. Jones stated that George Poe's grandmother was said to be Irish. By an account byJeni Lyn Hunter, was born in Rhine area, Germany, abt. 1715. Operated flouring mills for Baltimore market. Account by Randy Lee Everette shows last name Pfau & origin in Lower Palatinate. Most accounts cite emigration from Rhine Valley, Germany. There seems to be no reliable record of date of arrival in MD.[George Jacob Poe.FTW]

Murdered by one of his indentured servants, Michael Peck, a Dutchman.

Did George Jacob Pfau and family come from Germany or from Switzerland? Is there a possibility he was born here in PA, MD, or NC? The preponderence of allegations have him emigrating here from Germany. I've never found him on any passenger list. Aproximately 1/3 of the passenger lists of ships arriving at Philadelphia during the early years have been lost.
