I think something is not right in this sentence found on the web:
1 "He came from poverty."
According to this dictionary ( macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/come-from ), definition 2b for "come from" says a person can "come from a poor family", but not "come from poverty". So, is sentence 1 wrong?
