After their parents died in late 1811, the three siblings were separated. Poe's older brother, William Henry Leonard, went to live with his grandparents in Baltimore, Maryland. He died on August 1, 1831 probably of tuberculosis. Poe's younger sister, Rosalie, went to live with foster parents, William and Jane Scott Mackenzie, in Richmond, Virginia, and she later taught penmanship and, possibly, piano. Among the words rumored to have described her were "backward" and "dull." Her life was lived in comfort until the US Civil War started in 1861. She died on July 21, 1874. Poe was probably never close to either of his siblings.
When their parents were there no more, they were split up. His older brother was named Henry and became a sailor and alcoholic. Before Edgar reached steady going in his works, Henry died. Rosalie Mackenzie Poe was Edgar's younger sister. When he was 3 his little sister was 1.
