Edgar+A.+Poe's+Birth+and+Childhood

Edgar Allen Poe had an interesting childhood, from his mom taking him and his two siblings to her then dying and then being adopted. Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston. That makes him Capricorn, on the cusp of Aquarius. His parents were David Poe and Elizabeth Arnold. He was adopted later in life by Mr. and Mrs. Allan. His mom had died in 1811 when Edgar was two years old. She had separated from her husband and had taken her three kids with her. Henry went to live with his grandparents while Edgar was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. John Allan and Rosalie was taken in by another family. John Allan was a successful merchant, so Edgar grew up in good surroundings and went to good schools. When Poe was 6, he went to school in England for 5 years. He learned Latin and French, as well as math and history. He later returned to school in America and continued his studies. Sounds like a sad but yet good childhood.
