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.

1-1 1904 William L. Poe was contacted by G. O. Seilhamer ;of Chambersburg, PA, who wanted POE family information for his "Kittochtinny" magazine. William gave the project to Daisy.
She wrote to Thomas Poe for answers to her questions: What did he know o;f George Jacob Poe's ancestry? What happened to George Poe, Jr.? Miss Willard? The orphan, George? Catharine Ziegler?
1905 Jan The first issue featured the Irish POEs.
1905 The second issue featured the German POEs.
43-10 1926 Thomas Poe of Midland, Beaver Co., PA, visited Daisy and promised to help her with family information - but didn't.
1926 An account of Poe exploits was given to Earle R. Forrest, author of HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, 1926 (CHAPTER XXI, p112). Daisy Poe was a great-granddaughter of Andrew Poe.
1927 A. J. Poe of Jones, Cass Co., MI, sent material to Daisy Poe Pratt. She had her grandfather's, Deacon Adam Poe's, "History of the Andrew Poe Family."
43-3 1937 29 Dec Daisy Poe Pratt's home burned to the ground. The fire destroyed all the Poe material she had accumulated since 1887 and earlier, some Poe relics 150 years old.
43-10 1938 03 Jun Arthru C. Poe met Daisy Poe Pratt at her gas station in Streetsboro, OH
(just west of Ravenna). He later sent pictures to her.
43-3 1939 Daisy began reconstructing whatever she could of the Poe family.
1940 Daisy lived at Streetsboro, on the Lake Erie shores west of Ravenna.
LCW This is a bit far-fetched because Ravenna is not that close to Lake Erie.
1-1 1944 Daisy Poe Pratt drew this Poe pedigree chart.
21-1 1951 Daisy claimed George Jacob Poe, Sr.'s wife was Elizabeth and Kate was their only daughter.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>

LCW It is too bad Daisy's home burned and it is too bad that the Poe family history and all those artifacts were lost. Daisy tried to reconstruct the history from memory and with a little help but she probably made errors; as would we all in such circumstances. Her information becamevery secondary and must be weighed against that from other sources.

Norman and Daisy Pratt had no children.
