It would not surprise me if he spoke with a kind of British accent because his mother was born in England, and his foster father was born in Scotland. He also lived in the UK from age six to age eleven.

Edgar Allan Poe had a mid-Atlantic accent, which was a mix of British Received Pronunciation and American accents. This was common among upper-class Americans in the 19th century.
