A veteran of the War of 1812.

William always spelt his surname 'Powe' and this is reflected in his service file, though his children generally used 'Poe'.

The gravestone was erected in the 1920s and records his date of death but due to a mix-up, the form of his name and military details mentioned belong to a different 1812 veteran who may be ID 25711948.
