This manuscript is atypescript and update of another, handwritten, Clore-Glore Genealogymanuscript by Dr. Arthur Leslie Keith. The original of Keith'smanuscript is at the Newberry Library, Chicago., IL. Please note thatsome of this information has been updated by other researchers in themeantime and I'll try to add notes with the current information. Page19:
Michael Clore. In my article in the William and Mary Quarterly, Vol.XXVI, 181, I endeavor to assign certain children to this Michael. I amsatisfied now that all the children given there were the children ofMichael Clore, son of John Clore. There is then no record of thisMichael, son of George Clore, following the probate of this will. Heprobably died young.
Page 23-24:
"Michael Clore (son of John Clore) was born December 1, 1746, diedDecember 7, 1817, in Madison Co., Va. The title "Big Mike", applied tohim, to distinguish him from other Michael Clores, suggests that hewas a man of large size. The Quarter-Master General's report forDistrict of Charlottesville shows that he was paid for his services asblacksmith, October - December, 1781. Tradition claims that he was agunsmith. These services qualify his descendants for admission intothe patriotic societies. He was also a cabinet-maker. The Cloresliving near Madison, Va., today, furniture makers, may have receivedtheir craft by direct inheritance from him. The writer has a pair ofhalf-round mahogany tables, made in very substantial manner and stillin good condition. These tables were in possession of the Clore familynear Madison for more than a century. They are clearly of theHeppelwhite style which was the vogue about 1780. The writer believesthat in all probability they were made by Michael Clore himself.Michael Clore was one of the executors of his father's will. In 1782he was taxed for 185 acres, in 1786 for 48 acres. In Madison Co., Va.,he was taxed for 186 acres down to 1814, in which year his land wasdescribed as lying 3 miles east of the Court House and on the RobinsonRiver, which seems to identify it as part of the land which MichaelClore bought of Christopher Moyer, 1744. [A handwritten note, probablymade by Delma Carpenter, Sr. says this is "a bad guess" and in factMichael purchased the land rather than inherited it.] The land is alsodescribed as joining land of John Clore, dec'd. In 1814, Michael Clorewas taxed for 500 acres, "from Weaver's Estate", lying on the RobinsonRiver, and in 1815 and 1816 for a total of 686 acres. Michael Cloremarried Margaret Weber (Weaver) in 1769, who was born December 19,1752 (according to the Hebron Birth Register) or December 21, 1752, asgiven by tradition. She died November 24, 1842. She was the daughterof John Weber by his wife Barbara Kaffer (Cafer, etc.), daughter ofMichael Kaffer of the 1717 colony. John Weaver was the son of PeterWeaver who died 1763. Michael Clore and wife Margaret had 16 childrenof whom the first five are recorded in the Birth Register of HebronChurch."

The newsletter Beyond Germanna, Vol. 11, No. 4, July 1999, Publishedand edited by John Blankenbaker, PO Box 120, Chadds Ford PA 19317-0120has an article on the "Parentage of Michael ("Big Mike") Clore".Authors of the article [John Blankenbaker, Nancy (Moyers) Dodge andCathleen "Cathi" (Clore) Frost concluded that, based on land andbaptismal evidence, this Michael Clore was most likely the son ofGeorge Clore and Barbara Weaver. In Germanna Record #10, he wasidentified as the son of John Clore. A letter written by John Clore ofCrawfordsville, IN in 1895 to his cousin Howard D Clore of Norwood, IA(in possession of Cathi Frost of St. Helens, OR) also identifiesMichael's father as John Clore. In a later article published in BeyondGermanna [look up date], I (Cathi Clore Frost) concluded that "BigMike" was indeed the son of John Clore. The land evidence of the firstarticle proved to be inacurate. George also had a son of that name butcircumstantial evidence indicates he must have died without heirs,most likely young and unmarried.
