Edgar may have been named after a character in William Shakespeare's King Lear, which the couple were performing in 1809. His father abandoned the family in 1810, and his mother died a year later from consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis). Poe was then taken into the home of John Allan, a successful merchant in

Edgar Allan Poe, however, clearly names Rosalie Poe as his sister and the daughter of David Poe Jr. In an 1835 letter from Edgar Allan Poe, he wrote, "My father David died in the second year of my age, and when my sister Rosalie was an infant in arms".

Title: Poe brothers
Content:  Various sources report that the Poe Brothers of Princeton football fame were either first or second cousins or grand-nephews of the elder Edgar Allan Poe. Due to a bizarrely convoluted family tree, any or all of these descriptions may be said to be true. Through much of his adulthood, the author lived in close contact with his second cousin Neilson, the Poe brothers' grandfather. Edgar Allan and Neilson were born in the same year, and their family connections were so close that they would have been perceived by many outside the family as brothers. The elder Edgar Allan married his own first cousin Virginia Clemm, and the elder Neilson married Virginia's half-sister Josephine Emily Clemm.

The reason for this statement is unknown. On October 3, 1849, Edgar Allan Poe was found in backroom of Ryan's inn and tavern, delirious. Neilson attempted to visit Edgar in the hospital and subsequently wrote several letters containing information about his cousin's death. Soon afterwards Edgar died. Edgar's hearse and headstone of white Italian marble, were paid for by Neilson. He was the father of John P. Poe, Sr., the Attorney General of Maryland from 1891 until 1895.
