Gary,
If you are still out there, we have talked before. I've been away from genealogy for awhile, but retired now, I have more time.
These are my Poes. I knew the daughter of Henry Poe very well, but I don't remember just where her daddy went in Ak. His daughter was Mahala. Henry remarried and his new young wife didn't want his children so Mahala was sent to live with her brother Lindsey in Ak, then she was sent "baggage" by train to Alabama at about age 5, to live with her aunt Mahala and her grandfather...John Poe. Mahala was the 1st cousin of my grandfather, Cale Brad Thomas and they were reared together around Bellefonte,Al.
The daughter of John Poe, Minerva, married Samuel Brad Thomas and they both died within months of each other...all their kids went to the aunt and grandfather. This aunt Mahala "Aunt Puss" reared all the kids....Mahala Poe, William,Mert,Liz,Claude and Cale Brad Thomas.
I have the Poe pictures. Tin types of the entire family of John Poe. I don't have a picture of Mary Tipton.
Please e-mail me and share your info....I'll share what I have. Be glad to e-mail pictures to you or anyone. I have also posted these on the yahoo groups .. jacksongenealogy group site.
