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.

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.
