Daughter of William Poe and Elizabeth Bray. A William Poe is listed in the 1790 Surry County, NC census that may be Hannah's father.

Susanna Poe that married Henry Morgan September 1785—In Montgomery County Virginia may have been her sister.

Family lore says that Hannah Poe was part Cherokee Indian with I-hanna-poe as her Indian name. Peter JR was said to have given her the name Hannah Poe. MT DNA tests for a female descendant has Haplogroup T-1 markers that are not Native American while another descendant's MT results did return as one percent Native American. If Hannah's father or grandfather was Cherokee, it would not show up in her direct female descendants MT-DNA.
