No, Poe married his 13-year old cousin Virginia Clemm. But she died eleven years later, which made Poe very depressed. Lenore is just a name that Poe came up with to rhyme "nevermore" in his poem The Raven, and it is the title of a poem he wrote two years earlier.

What does the poem Lenore by Edgar Allan Poe mean?

Lenore is one of the symbols Poe used throughout his writing to refer to his older brother, William Henry Leonard Poe, who Edgar was always looking up to. He based many of his writings off of his older brother's works. By rearanging some of the letters in Henry's name "Leonard", one can conclude the name "Lenore". Also to support this, although Lenore was written as a woman in Poe's literature which suggests Virginia (his first wife), Lenore was "lost" and many of Edgar's poems and short stories depict a seafaring life by the sea where his "lost Lenore" was laid to rest. Henry was a sailor for most of his life and was buried by the sea (much like Anabel Lee), obviously circling the idea that Lenore is a direct reference to his meritime brother.
