Pages 14-16

John Clore (son of Michael Clore) has already appeared several timesin the account of his father. On December 17, 1761 he witnessed willof Anna Mary Gabberd (with Christopher Dicken and Michael Thomas). OnFebruary 18, 1762 John Clore and wife Dorothy sold 100 acres to AdamYeager. On May 15, 1762 Michael Kafer and John Clore and wife Dorothysold to Paul Letherer 152 acres, part of tract of 400 acres purchasedby Michael Clore and by said Michael Clore's last will left to beequally divided between the John Clore and Peter Clore. This deed waswitnessed by Michael Oneal, Michael Clore, and George Row. This deedhas a close connection with the one given under Michael Clore, of samedate, whereby John Clore and wife Dorothy sold 48 acres to MichaelOneal. The two acreages amount to 200 acres which seems to be the landmentioned by Michael Clore in his will, being half of the tractpurchased of Christopher Yowell, June 21, 1754. On December 31, 1776John Clore made deed of gift, 100 acres, to Michael Clore (referringto Michael's brother John in the deed). On April 19, 1777 John Cloreand wife Katharine made deed of gift to John Clore, Jr. As John Gloorhe was paid 9 shillings and 105 pounds of tabacco for colonialservices, from Culpeper Co., Va., 1756.
The baptisms of no children of John Clore are recorded in the HebronBirth Register, though it seems certain that he had children bornafter 1750, the first date of the Register. Johannes Klor (the Germanspelling) and wife Dorothea Klorin frequently serve as sponsors at thebaptisms of Nicholas Krickler (Crigler) and Christopher Krickler (theywere the sons of Jacob Crigler and wife Susanna), from 1750 to 1768,the latter date being the last appearance of Dorothy Clore. In 1775Johannes Klor and Catharina Klorin appear as sponsors of JamesGrickler, son of Christopher. So it is evident that between 1768 and1775 Dorothy, the first wife of John Clore, had died and he hadmarried again. His first wife was the daughter of Michael Kaifer(Kaffer, Cafer), a member of the 1717 colony, whose will, datedDecember 28, 1762, probated November 17, 1768, in Culpeper Co., Va.,mentions daughters Elizabeth, wife of Adam Garr, Barbara, wife of JohnWeaver, Mary, wife of George Utz, Margaret, wife of Nicholas Crigler,and Dorothy, wife of John Clore. John Clore's children were evidentlyall by his first wife, Dorothy Kaifer. He made will December 2, 1779,probated June 20, 1785, in Culpeper Co., Va. The will was witnessed byJohn Hume, Acrey Berry, Philip Chelf, Henry Lewis, by another, nameundecipherable, and Chrisr. Crigler. Sons Michael & John Clore andson-in-law John Stanciver are named as executors. Testator mentionswife Katherine and children Michael, John, George, Milley, Anne, andFrances. He mentions in his will his nine children. His daugherMargaret who had married Leonard Crisler is not mentioned or hisdaughter (Jemima), wife of John Stansiver.
Garr assigns a daugher (without name) to John Clore and says she wasthe wife of Daniel Weaver. If this is correct she may be the ninthchild of John Clore (his will refers to his nine children). Her firstname is not known but she may be the Babara Clore, confirmed in HebronChurch, Easter Sunday, 1776, or the Amelia Clore, confirmed 1777, bothof whom are otherwise unaccounted for. If we add both Barbara andAmelia to the list of John's children, the number would be ten. Ifthey both do belong to John (and it seems they must) we would have tosuppose that one died before the date of his will, December 2, 1779.Garr assigns a daughter Elizabeth to John Clore, which is certainly anerror. The Elizabeth Clore who married Herman Wayman was the daughterof Peter Clore. She was the first wife of Herman Wayman and his secondwife was Frances Clore, daughter of John Clore.
