Poe (Harley Park)
A branch of the Poe family descended from Captain James Poe, third son of Emmanuel Poe. Captain James purchased the Harley Park estate in county Tipperary, married Mary Cooke of Kiltinan and died in 1728. His descendants lived at Harley Park into the 20th century. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation James Purefoy Poe held land in the parishes of Ballingarry and Lismalin, barony of Slievardagh, county Tipperary and in the 1870s his son Arthur Poe owned 374 acres in county Tipperary and 1,170 acres in county Kilkenny.
