The same book includes this section - Essex County: An Annotated Copy of the Rent Roll of 1704

The annotations include whom the landowner married and their date of death if the researcher could determine it. As an example, this annotation states: John Battaile (d. 1706; married Catherine Taliaferro and Elizabeth Smith)

The entry for Samuel Poe includes only one annotation ? the date of death, since that is all the court records reveal.
