GEDCOM Note

from "Poe-Day History": Most of the brothers and sisters of John and Abigail Day and their families were pioneer settlers on both sides of the Ohio River east of Cincinnati, around 1800. Those on the Ohio side lived near the border of Clermont and Brown Counties; those on the Kentucky side lived in Bracken County, a few miles south of the riverside town of Augusta. There is not much information about how John and Abigail Day spent that time from the end of the War to 1795, but DeVerter implies they were in Pennsylvania, then says of them: "This family moved to Kentucky in 1795 ... Some rode inwagons, some on horseback." By that time, John and Abigail had 7 children, from Martha (b. 1/25/1778) to Isaac (b. 5/19/1795). The others were Matthew (b. c 1778), John jr. (b. c 1782), Edward (b. 1788), Mark (b. 1790), and Thomas (b. 1793). Three more children -- twins Jesse and Mary (b. 9/19/1797) and Joseph Bennett (b. 6/25/1800) -- were born in Bracken County, Kentucky. The 1850 Indiana census lists Edward Poe Day (b. 8/6/1788) as having been born in North Carolina, so it looks as if the family spent some time there; the same census lists younger brother Isaac Day (b. 1795) as being born in Maryland.
