• Notes

  1. Chronology 1812 - Adam served in the War of 1812. He commanded a company of soldiers after the CO was shot. His papers were burned in Daisy (Poe) Pratt's house fire. 1814 - Govenor Simon Synde appointed Adam 1LT, 2nd Co., Regimental Milita of PA. 1821 - Adam commissioned CPT of the volunteer infantry called the Mill Creek Fusibles. His commission was to extend to 3 AlUG 1828 and was signed by Govenor Joseph Heister. c1827 - Adam Poe moved to Ravenna, OH. He was a farmer al his life. His farm was about 1 1/2 mile from town. He lived in a log house for many years and then decided to build one of bricks. He made hisown bricks and baked them in a kiln. It is still standing (I suppose this was in 1926) and in a good state. A big brick oven was built in the basement kitchen. Mrs. Poe did all the baking for her large family in that oven. 1858-9 Adam bught a home and 1/2 acre of land in Ravenna where he lived until his death in 1859. It was known as the Ranny House (because Adam bought it from John Ranny) and was located on the corner of Cedar and Day streets. - Adam Poe was properly known as Deacon Adam Poe and was one of the ealriest members of the Congregational Church to which he devoted his services in all possible ways, at times taking the place of the pastor when the pulpit was not supplied with a regular minister. He was also a surveyor and most of the farms around were surveyed by him. When trouble arose in the neighborhood, it was DeaconAdam Poe who was called to make decisions and settle disputes. He was respected by everyone in the neighborhood. - Adam had a history of his father Andrew's family.[Lockhart.ftw] 2. re: Rev. Adam Poe - A reference mentions a Rev. Adam Poe who was a founder of Ohio Wesleyan College (Delaware, OH) in 1841-1842. There is nothing to establish a connection except that children of the Adam Poe listed here settled in the same state. He would have been about 60 years old at this time. 3. Note that there is also a first cousin named Adam, whose father (the senior Adam Poe) apparently settled in WayneCo. OH. Nothing is known of this cousin except a note that he had 2 children. 4.
