Unfortunately for us Virginians, Edgar Allan Poe is not a native to our state.  Worth considering perhaps for noteworthy 19th century Virginians might be the Virginia Presidents from that era including Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, and Taylor.  They, along with George Washington (18th) and Woodrow Wilson (20th) combine to make Virginia the Mother of Presidents.  Gov. Mark Warner referred to this recently on C-SPAN when he said it is about time to add another Virginian to that list.  He said he knows that because Sen. George Allen told him so!  ATW
