Their last name was Allan, so they made that Edgar's middle name. John Allan didn't like Edgar, and disowned him when his wife died. Eventually, Edgar did find love-- a girl named Virginia. But she died of "consumption" at an early age, inspiring a lot of Poe's works, such as the Raven, and Annabel Lee.
