I cannot recall where he was born. Was it Baltimore? From http://www.online-literature.com/poe/: "Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts, to parents who were itinerant actors. His father David Poe Jr. died probably in 1810 and his mother Elizabeth Hopkins Poe in 1811. Edgar was taken into the home of a Richmond merchant John Allan and brought up partly in England (1815-20), where he attended Manor School at Stoke Newington. Never legally adopted, Poe took Allan's name for his middle name." |

I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him from following me through the streets. |

And his grave was originally there, because there is a story about H. L. Mencken and others making pilgrimages to pee on his grave after late night drinking parties. |

Richmond also has one of the best medical colleges in the country, this draws lots of money, Richmond is saturated with old money. |
