Records in Virginia

Essex, County, Virginia in 1704, Samuell (Samuel) Paw (Poe) purchased the artisan’s tools and equipment. The sale price of the equipment and tools exceeded four pounds sterling. In the records of the estate sale he was listed as Captain Paw. It is surmised that Samuel Poe operated a mechanical shop where he made utensils, articles and commonly used instruments and implements needed and sought by the neighboring early colonists.
