Battle of Bunker Hill states that Poor died in the battle (in 1775), while this article implies that his life extended to 1776 and beyond. What is correct?

Sorry it took me so long to get an answer. Poor's career is very vague, and written to be inspiring. This account is better. I've fixed the Bunker Hill article. Thanks...

Searching through several old documents I found some addtional info that I added. He was born in the late 40's bought his freedom and then got married. Since he reenlisted and later fought at Valley Forge and in the White Plains campaign it is unlikely that the died at Bunker Hill.

Contradiction II
The first sentence says Poor was born a free black, yet goes on to say he purchased his freedom. Which is correct please?
