According to Elgin P. Kintner M.D. author of "A Family History and Tour Guide of Reuel B. Prichett and Ella Poff", Jonathan Poff was born about 1780. His name appeared on the tax records in 1798 of Augusta Co., Va. Chalkey records show that Jonathan Poff and Mary Hartsough married on January 10, 1797. She was the daughter of Englebert Harshough.
His name was on the tax rolls of Montgomery Co. until he purchased land in Franklin Co. in 1821. This property was located at the headwaters of the Pigg River. This is on the edge of the plateau near the Floyd and Franklin Co. line west of Rocky Mount, Va.
Jonathan's will was dated March 26, 1845 and was probated on October 6, 1845 which means he most likely died in September of 1845. He gave all of his property to his wife and appointed his friend, John Long, as the executor. Appraisal of this property showed that it consisted of a house, a colt, 2 hogs, 10 barrels of corn, 75 dozen oats and some tools. He may have been buried in the Pigg River Church Cemetery.
