Edgar Allan Poe had two siblings, an older brother, William Henry Leonard Poe, and a younger sister, Rosalie Mackenzie Poe. He didn't know them well because they were separated at very young ages after their parents died. His brother became an alcoholic and died in 1831 of tuberculosis, and his sister became mentally ill and died in 1874.


Edgar Allan Poe was not an only child. He was the second child of the actress Elizabeth Arnold Hopkins Poe and actor David Poe, Jr. He was born on January 19, 1809. His older brother was named William Henry Leonard Poe, and his younger sister was named Rosalie Poe.
