His mother died and his father left him... there were two women who knew his mother, and one adopted his sister. The other adopted him. Their last name was Allan, so they made that Edgar's middle name. John Allan didn't like Edgar, and disowned him when his wife died.
Eventually, Edgar did find love-- a girl named Virginia. But she died of "consumption" at an early age, inspiring a lot of Poe's works, such as the Raven, and Annabel Lee.
