what were edgar allen poe's parents' profession?

Answer 1

Edgar Allan Poe was born to a Scottish/Irish family in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 19, 1809. He was the son of actress Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe and actor David Poe, Jr. His father abandoned the family in 1810. His mother died a year later from "consumption" (tuberculosis). Poe was then taken into the family home of John Allan, a successful tobacco merchant in Richmond, Virginia. Although his middle name is often misspelled as "Allen," it is actually "Allan," after this family.
