Society Daughters of the Am. Rev., by Louise Julich Pub. by Parchment Press page 497 - James Poe, Tuscaloosa, AL, Revolutionary Soldier buried just inside the Tuscaloosa Co. line new Newtonville, AL information on tombstone. "OLD CEMETERIES OF NEWTONVILLE" by Mrs. B. A. Sullivan 1965 ...One of the oldest cemeteries in this community is the Simon Poe cemetery loc. on what we people know as the Richard Hayes place. I believe Mr. Arch Gibson owns the property now. Simon Poe and his father Maj. James Poe, Rev. War soldier left NC in 1825. Maj. Poe was old and ill. He made the trip to AL lying in a cedar chest that was made especially for this trip. One of his descendants living in Little Rock, AR has this chest stored in her attic today. Maj. Poe died soon after arriving in Newtonville. We suppose he was the first person buried in Poe Cemetery. There are people here now that can remember when there were several markers in this Cemetery, but there is no sign of any today. The place has been a cow pasture for several years. Listed in 1830 Tuscaloosa County census. Listed in 1800 & 1810 census, Chatham County, NC Wake County, NC and Hillsborough treasury issued Revolutionary pay vouchers.
