Edgar Allan Poe was born in Boston but moved to England and Scotland with his godfather's family upon the death of his parents. He returned to the US in 1820 and resumed schooling in Virginia.

Here you go:
Poe, Edgar Allan
1809—49, American poet, short-story writer, and critic, b. Boston. He is acknowledged today as one of the most brilliant and original writers in American literature. His skillfully wrought tales and poems convey with passionate intensity the mysterious, dreamlike, and often macabre forces that pervaded his sensibility. He is also considered the father of the modern detective story.
BTW- I think he was also an alcoholic, which is why he died fairly young.
