FindAGrave Success : John W. Poe

FindAGrave contributor Slimbeaux was able to photograph the tombstones of my maternal 5x great-grandparents, John W. POE (1781-1850) and Elizabeth (RAINS) POE (1789-1840).  


Thanks to these photographs, I now have an exact date of death for Elizabeth.   In addition, I found a previously unknown daughter of the couple, Rebecca POE (1809-1838), who was also buried in the Poe Cemetery in Morgan County, Indiana.
