Notes
a. Note:   Researched by Wes Poff and given to me (8/1999): Peter is thought to have been in Augusta Co. in 1792 because his name appears with George Poff on a tax list. In 1800 Peter and George are both listed on the delinquent tax list of Augusta as having gone "to French Broad". This is a river that flows from N.C. to Knoxville, Tenn. In 1798 George Poff Sr. and Jr. are listed but in 1798 and 1800 only one George is listed. It is assumed that George Sr. died about 1798 because his name is missing. It seems that Peter arrived in Montgomery Co. and purchased a farm on Wilson's Creek. In 1803 he was granted a land deed of 96 more acres. In a few years it seems the family moved near Check, Va. on Little River, still part of Montgomery County. Peter continued adding to his farm. Tax records show he owned a saw mill in 1813 and a grist mill in 1814. When Peter died in 1830 his family divided his 665 acres of land. Researched by Lewis Poff and given me (8/1999): Source: Will written 9/14/1830 and probated 1/1830, with all children listed. Source: Named listed in Kinter's Book about his family. Source: Head of River Ancestors by Erma Conner Sowers page 22 for DOD, buried in unmarked grave. Source: R. A. Poff states that Peter Poff and frau were recorded as Communicants of the Zion Lutheran Church of Floyd County, in 1819.
