John Allan, a Scottish merchant, takes Poe in after the death of his mother, although he never formally adopts him, although he gave Poe his middle name. John Allan was, by turn, affectionate and overly strict with Edgar. They would follow a pattern of alienation and reconciliation throughout their adult lives, culminating when Poe discovered Allan was remarrying a woman with children and he would have no inheritance when his foster father died.
