1795 record; Thomas Bradley in 1795 record. Wyn
Dixon and Robert Dixon and Charles Dixon in 1795 record; Thomas Loyd in 1795 record.
It is supposed that Samuel Poe, son of William Poe and Lydia
married Phebe Settle as his second wife, adding some
weight to the idea that the Caswell County Poe families are descended from
William/Lydia]. Also interesting the Dixon family derives from Chester Co, PA
where there were Poes. It may end up that William Poe
of Culpeper County is connected to this Poe group from Pennsylvania.
