It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

m ELIZABETH HOPKINS ARNOLD. b 01.01.1787 London d 08.12.1811 Richmond, Richmond City, VA Actress, Literary Folk Figure. A noted thespian of her day, she is better remembered as the mother of Edgar Allan Poe. Raised in a London theatrical family, she left for America with her mother in 1795, her father having died in 1789, arriving in Boston on January 3, 1796. Eliza made her stage debut at nine in David Garrick's "Miss in Her Teens"; she and Mrs. Arnold joined a traveling theater troupe called the Charleston Comedians, Eliza remaining with the group after her mother died in 1798. Over the course of her short career she was to perform around 300 roles including Shakespeare's Juliet and Ophelia. In 1802 Eliza married actor Charles Hopkins who died in 1805, then six months later in 1806 wed David Poe, Jr., a sometime-lawyer with acting ambitions. According to legend Poe had seen Eliza perform in Norfolk, Virginia, become attracted to her, and joined the company. The couple played in the major theaters of the eastern United States bringing along their expanding family; William Henry Leonard Poe was born in January 1807, followed by Edgar, born in Boston January 19, 1809. (Eliza was to have a third child, Rosalie, in December 1810 by a father unknown; one of the oft mentioned candidates for paternity is the famed portraitist Thomas Sully and it is interesting to note that while Rosalie was remarked to be 'slow' she did have a fair modicum of artistic talent). While Eliza was routinely given high praise for her performances such was far from the case for her husband who was, according to stories of the time, a hot-tempered alcoholic with severe stage fright. David abandoned the theater and his family shortly after arriving in New York in 1809, leaving Eliza to bear Edgar alone. Some sources state that David died in Norfolk in the fall of 1811, but there is no proof. Eliza became ill with tuberculosis shortly after arriving in Richmond in the fall of 1811. She gave her last performance in "The Stranger" on October 11, 1811, and spent her final two months boarding with a family named Usher and attempting to arrange care for her children. After her death William was sent to his grandparents in Baltimore, Rosalie was taken-in by the Mackenzie (sometimes rendered 'MacKenzie') family who ran a Richmond school and thereafter known as Rosalie Mackenzie Poe, and Edgar was cared for by wealthy Richmond lady Mrs. Frances Allan in the face of much protest from her husband John. (How much real resistance there could have been is questionable as Frances had proof that John was paying child support for at least one indiscretion). Burial for Eliza presented a problem: "actress" was a pejorative term, virtually synonymous with "prostitute", even among theater-goers and thus there was resistance to placing her remains in consecrated ground. St. John's Church which then had the only cemetery in Richmond refused her but John Allan, though a Scottish Presbyterian, was able to arrange interment there. In deference to the sensitivities of the time, however, the graveside service was held at midnight. There is no definite evidence of Eliza in any of her son's writings; Poe of course used the name "Usher" in a short story and did produce one poem titled "To My Mother", but it is quite certain that it was for his aunt Maria Poe Clemm.

m VIRGINIA ELIZA CLEMM b 15.08.1822, Baltimore City MD d 30.01.1847, Fordham Bronx Co NY Literary Folk Figure. She was the first cousin and the wife of Edgar Allan Poe. Virginia, the daughter of Poe's aunt Maria ("Muddy") Poe Clemm, was raised in Baltimore under conditions of poverty and first met Poe at age seven in 1829 shortly after he left the Army; Edgar lived with the family intermittently and once even used the child as a go-between in his romantic advances to a neighbor. Just when the great writer developed a romantic interest in Virginia is uncertain but by the time he moved to Richmond in 1835 to take a job with the "Southern Literary Messenger" he was, with encouragement from her mother and despite her youth, considering marrying her. Poe wrote to his aunt offering to support the family if they would move to Richmond. A marriage license was applied for in Baltimore on September 22, 1835, though the wedding ceremony did not occur until May 16, 1836, performed by a Presbyterian minister in Richmond; Edgar was 27 while his bride was 13. The exact nature of their marriage remains clouded and while some have speculated that theirs was a big brother-little sister relationship (Poe's pet name for her was "Sissy"), most accounts describe them as a happy, devoted, couple. The family was forced to move several times due to Poe's struggle for financial success as a writer with his employment taking them to several cities including Philadelphia and Baltimore. By January 1842 Virginia was showing signs of tuberculosis that led to her progressive disability and in May of 1846 Poe moved Virginia and Muddy to their final home which still stands in Fordham, New York. Poe was chronically broke but provided as well as he could and though there were scandals involving his attention to other women none at the time doubted his devotion to Virginia. Edgar suffered a prolonged depression after Virginia's death and relapsed for a time into alcohol use, though the persistent stories of him being a habitual drunkard are exaggerated. Virginia's influence on Poe's literary output is questioned; it is speculated that poem "Ulalume" is a memorial to her and she may have been the inspiration for "Annabel Lee" (1849) or the "lost Leonore" of 1845's "The Raven", though there are certainly other candidates. The most accepted representation of Virginia occurs in the short sketch "Eleonora" (1842) which deals with a man marrying his cousin who lives with her mother.
Cl10-2-3-5-1-1-1-1-2 WILLIAM HENRY LEONARD POE b 30.01.1807, Boston, Suffolk County, MA d 01.08.1831, Baltimore, Baltimore County, MD Older brother of writer Edgar Poe, "Henry Poe," as he was called, was himself a published poet. Orphaned as a child, he was taken in by his grandparents in Baltimore (his brother and sister were taken in by unrelated families in Richmond). He became a professional sailor on the USS Macedonian, which took him to the West Indies, the Mediterranean, and Russia. After a short, unsuccessful career as a law clerk, he began publishing poems in 1827 as well as a short story, "The Pirate," based on his younger brother's failed teenage romance with a woman named Sarah Elmira Royster. The two Poe brothers maintained a casual correspondence while growing up. For a time, they may have lived together with family in Baltimore as Edgar prepared for a stint at West Point. It is speculated that Henry struggled with alcoholism. He died of tuberculosis at age 24
Cl10-2-3-5-1-1-1-1-2 ROSALIE MACKENZIE POE b 1810, VA d 21.07.1874, Washington, DC sister of Edgar Allan Poe, is said to have been born in December of 1810, but we have no solid documentary evidence for this assertion. All we know for certain is that she was born long enough after the disappearance of her mother Eliza's husband, David Poe, for questions to arise about the girl's paternity. It was even said in later years that David's sister, (and Edgar's mother-in-law) Maria Clemm, claimed that Rosalie was not the child of either Eliza or David Poe. Intriguingly, when Rosalie was a child, a wealthy resident of Richmond, VA, Joseph Gallego, died and left a will bequeathing Rosalie the then enormous sum of 2,000 dollars for her maintenance. She was the only charity bequest in his will to be so favored, leaving one to speculate whether the small orphan was more to him than just an object of sympathy. After Eliza Poe died in 1811, Rosalie was given a home by the Mackenzies, a prominent Richmond family, but there is conflicting evidence about whether she was treated as a member of the family or merely a ward. Rosalie seems to have had a distant, if not antagonistic relationship with her famous older brother. She herself claimed that she was "a good size girl" before she even knew she had a sibling--an incredible statement considering they were raised in the same city. Edgar's one-time fiancee, Sarah Helen Whitman, stated that he told her his relationship with Rosalie was characterized by coldness and estrangement. Considering that Rosalie is generally characterized as having a childlike mentality and an off-putting personality, Whitman likely spoke the truth. Rosalie appears to have led a relatively comfortable and stable existence in the Mackenzie home until the Civil War left the family destitute. Thereafter, her story becomes pure pitable tragedy. The remaining members of her foster family sent her to her Poe relatives in Baltimore. As her kin evidently wanted little to do with her, she was soon left on her own resources--a fate her intelligence, character, and upbringing left her completely unable to handle. She made attempts to gain work as a housekeeper, and was said to walk the streets trying to sell pictures of Edgar to passerby, but her main source of support was "the kindness of strangers," motivated to assist her by admiration for her legendary sibling.

On July 17,1817 at age 27 she became the second wife of William Clemm Jr., a Baltimore hardware merchant, and step-mother to his five children. William and Maria had three children of their own ; their youngest Virgina most known for marrying writer Edgar Allan Poe. This union made Maria , who biologically was his aunt, his mother-in-law. Maria survived all three of her children and her son-in-law.

-1 VIRGINIA ELIZA CLEMM b 15.08.1822, Baltimore City MD d 30.01.1847, Fordham Bronx Co NY Literary Folk Figure. She was the first cousin and the wife of Edgar Allan Poe. Virginia, the daughter of Poe's aunt Maria ("Muddy") Poe Clemm, was raised in Baltimore under conditions of poverty and first met Poe at age seven in 1829 shortly after he left the Army; Edgar lived with the family intermittently and once even used the child as a go-between in his romantic advances to a neighbor. Just when the great writer developed a romantic interest in Virginia is uncertain but by the time he moved to Richmond in 1835 to take a job with the "Southern Literary Messenger" he was, with encouragement from her mother and despite her youth, considering marrying her. Poe wrote to his aunt offering to support the family if they would move to Richmond. A marriage license was applied for in Baltimore on September 22, 1835, though the wedding ceremony did not occur until May 16, 1836, performed by a Presbyterian minister in Richmond; Edgar was 27 while his bride was 13. The exact nature of their marriage remains clouded and while some have speculated that theirs was a big brother-little sister relationship (Poe's pet name for her was "Sissy"), most accounts describe them as a happy, devoted, couple. The family was forced to move several times due to Poe's struggle for financial success as a writer with his employment taking them to several cities including Philadelphia and Baltimore. By January 1842 Virginia was showing signs of tuberculosis that led to her progressive disability and in May of 1846 Poe moved Virginia and Muddy to their final home which still stands in Fordham, New York. Poe was chronically broke but provided as well as he could and though there were scandals involving his attention to other women none at the time doubted his devotion to Virginia. Edgar suffered a prolonged depression after Virginia's death and relapsed for a time into alcohol use, though the persistent stories of him being a habitual drunkard are exaggerated. Virginia's influence on Poe's literary output is questioned; it is speculated that poem "Ulalume" is a memorial to her and she may have been the inspiration for "Annabel Lee" (1849) or the "lost Leonore" of 1845's "The Raven", though there are certainly other candidates. The most accepted representation of Virginia occurs in the short sketch "Eleonora" (1842) which deals with a man marrying his cousin who lives with her mother.
