Poe's mother became a widow when her first husband, Charles Hopkins died on October 26, 1805. Later she married David Poe, Edgar's natural father thereby becoming Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe. She died a few days before her second husband David, therefore she did not become a widow for a second time. Although David Poe died after his wife, he did abandon the family not too long after Poe's younger sister Rosalie was born.
