General Notes: Husband - Thomas Poe

---

He was graduated at Union College, Schenectady, New York, and became a civil engineer. He was deputy surveyor of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 1809-13. He enlisted in Capt. Samuel Gordon's company, March 1, 1814, and marched from Loudon to Erie, where the company was attached to the 5th regiment, Col. James Fenton. Poe was made adjutant of the regiment. He was a man born to command. It is told of him that by the mere power of his presence he quieted an outbreak in camp, and by a word forced the men to go to their quarters. He was mortally wounded at the battle of Chippewa, July 25, 1814, and died the next day.
