Lafayette's connection to the Poe family helped Mrs. Poe and her family. He asked to meet with David Sr. and when informed Sr. was dead asked then to meet with his widow. He found her living in poverty and upbraided the city powers for allowing the widow who with her husband had helped him and his soldiers. The powers helped Mrs. Poe obtain a widows pension for her husbands service as the Baltimore Commissary agent of the Continental Army. It was this pension that was the consistent source of income for herself, daughter Maria Clemm, grandson Henry and granddaughter Virginia Clemm, as well as her grandsons W. Henry and Edgar Poe. W. Henry dies shortly after Edgar starts living with the family in their house on Central Ave near Eastern in 1831 and the family will move to Amity St. in 1833, again using the pension as the main source of income.

My 3x great grandmother shook Lafayette's hand when he came to visit Baltimore. She would've been 12. She lived to be 95, dying in 1907.
