Poke milkweed?

I was hiking last weekend in the Appalachian Mts. in Virginia and saw some milkweed plants in the woods. They had mature seedpods on them - that is the only way I recognized them as milkweed, as the leaves were all dead. When I got home, I tried to determine what kind of milkweed it was using google and came up with poke milkweed as being native to that area and growing in the shade. Is my identification likely to be correct, or are there other native milkweeds that will grow in the woods? The plants were not very tall, 3 ft. or under.

Thanks.
