Yes, he did live in Richmond, Virginia. When he was orphaned at 2 years old, he was taken in by foster parents, John And Frances Allan who lived in Richmond at the time. Poe grew up and went to school there for several years before John Allan moved the family to Great Britain to attend to matters involving his tobacco business. Eventually, the Allans and Poe moved back to Richmond, where Poe remained until he left the family after a dispute with his foster father after Poe left the University of Virginia.
