John Poe (d.1756), of Scottish lineage, married Jane McBride, and in 1748 the family immigrated from Ireland to Baltimore, Maryland. David Poe (1742-1816), their oldest son, served as quartermaster in Baltimore for the Revolutionary Army. He married Elizabeth Cairnes, and became a merchant after the Revolution; he was called General Poe in his later years. Descendants and relatives lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D.C. and elsewhere.
