Eldridge M Poe (october 14, 1849-July 6, 1930) and Mary Jane Missey (June 5,1850- September 23, 1937)

[William Poe]

I received some information from a friend, who I was in elementary through high school together. Turns out he has a Poe ancestor. Anyone know about Eldridge M Poe (see subject line and below).

 

from my friend's family information:

 

Alta Sarah Poe. She was born April 5, not sure about the year. Her death certificate notes that it was 1871 in Dunklin County, Missouri. The 1900 census lists it as 1873 and her headstone notes it as 1872. She died May 27, 1936 in Beech Grove, Arkansas. She was married to John Ab Allison and they had 9 children: Cora in 1900, William in 1902, Nettie in 1905, Maudie in 1907, Nezzie in 1909, twins Lona and Nona in 1912 (Nona did not survive) and two other children that also died in infancy, birthdates unknown- Lora and Orville.

I have her parents listed as Eldridge M Poe (october 14, 1849-July 6, 1930) and Mary Jane Missey (June 5,1850- September 23, 1937) The children I have listed for them are Alta, Elton, Ellie 1875, Cliff 1880, Ralph 1887, Fird 1882, Hila Don Delia 1891, and Ethel 1872.
Here are some pictures I have of her. She is with John Ab in the middle one. In the one on the right, she is seated, surrounded by her girls, Nettie, Nezzie, Maudie and Lona.
