One source lists birth year as 1789 and another 1799; 1850 census lists DW Poe as 50, so I will use 1799. 3. Residences: New Lisbon, Columbiana Co., Ohio; Brooklyn, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio 4. - 1819 26 Aug IGI-OH- has David W. Poe marry Mary Ann Nead on this date.

They were caught in a blizzard while searching for a homestead near Nebraska City, Otoe Co., NE. Their arms and legs were frozen and they died when these were amputated. Adam Poe, who was in Nebraska City at the time, also wrote home about their deaths. -1857 09 Apr These DOD on the tombstones of David Williamson Poe and David Jackson Poe in the Brookmere Cemetery at Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio are incorrect. This is likely the dates their bodies were buried. 5. 1850 25 Jul OH (Cuyahoga) Brooklyn T., p59/117 D. W.

The other surnames aren't familiar and aren't in my index at this time. I would guess they are either boarders or servants at the tavern.
