He was born in Pennsylvania, and in 1808, when a lad of eight years, the family (that of his stepfather, Job Jeffries) moved into this county.

He was regarded as a bright boy by his schoolmate, the late Judge Abner Haines, of Eaton, who says he came to school clad in leather breeches and a linsey warmus, and then the judge told this story illustrative of his character: Job's Oxen.

SERIES 3: THE REYNOLDS QUESTION: AN EXAMINATION OF THE QUENTIN CLARK FOOTNOTE In the narrative of Poe's death recently discovered among the papers of Baltimore attorney Quentin Hobson Clark, there is an interpretative problem that has plagued the serious reader and scholar. Late in the papers (chapter 35 in the published edition), Clark notes that Auguste Duponte has alluded to another possible meaning of Poe's famous last call for "Reynolds. " Auguste Duponte, speaking of this name, remarks, "It might have been the last name he heard… or it might have been the name of a man whose part in a deadly affair of several years past renders it far too dangerous for either for either of us to speak about.

In the spring of 1831, the Philadelphia Saturday Courier ran a story contest for a $100 prize and publication. In advertising their noble objective as the “Cause of LITERATURE,” the newspaper showed a giddy enthusiasm for what the young Poe must have hoped was excellence.
Poe submitted “Metzengerstein” and four other stories to the contest. None of the five won—in fact, the winner was a piece called “Love's Martyr” by Delia Bacon, chosen for what the editors called its “taste, genius and feeling.” Although “Love's Martyr” edged out Poe's entries, throughout the year the newspaper went on to publish them all—without paying the writer and probably even without notifying him.
