The real Poe was born to traveling actors in Boston on January,, Edgar was the second of three children, His other brother William Henry Leonard Poe would also become a poet before his early death, and Poes sister Rosalie Poe would grow up to teach penmanship at a Richmond girls school.
Within three years of Poes birth both of his parents had died, and he was taken in by the wealthy tobacco

Mr. Allan would rear Poe to be a businessman and a Virginia gentleman, but Poe had dreams of being a writer in emulation of his childhood hero the British poet Lord Byron.
