Biography

John Gore Esq was a Virginia colonist.

A Sir Paul Gore was sent from Ireland or England by Queen Elizabeth to start a colony similar to Jamestown.

The progenitor of our family is John Gore who left England and came to Lancaster County, Virginia in February 1653 as one of fourteen transportees of John Edwards (see Early Virginia Immigrants, 1623-1666, page 132, by George C. Greer and Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, Volume 1, page 248, by Nell Marion Nugent).

John Gore (according to the Patent Book 4) took out a patent on 150 acres on the Northe side of the Peanketanke River in Lancaster C. on 1/16/1658. He was involved in the transport of 3 people: Sir Henry Chichley, Richard Chamley, and Jonathon Layward. Sir Henry Chichley, Knight, was granted 2200 acres on the north side of the Rappahannock River opposite Port Tobacco on 8 Dec 1656. John Gore was acquainted with the landed gentry of the day. In 1673, Middlesex Co. was formed from part of Lancaster Co. and his 150 acres is now located in Middlesex County.

There was a Thomas Gore Gower (or Gore), Thomas - Gentleman - died August 16, 1607 listed as one of the 104 original settlers of the Jamestown Colony in 1607. According to the diary kept by the famous Captain John Smith, Thomas survived the hardships of the colony's first year of existence. The colony was was decimated by famine in the years that followed and also Inian attacks in 1622 and in the following year a census was taken and Thomas Gore was not listed in this census, nor were any others by the name of Gore. Either Thomas died sometime between 1608 and 1623, or he returned to England as some of the early settlers did. It is possible that Thomas or one of his descendants returned to Virginia. I have no information on that.

John Gore's wife was named Margaret. They had two sons: JOSEPH 1669-1726 and Henry 1671-1701. After his death, she married George Ransome and after his death, she married again to John Ascough. In Aschough's will, he gave his wife and her children by John *Goare* all his esstate on the north side of Peanketanke River. Based on the above, we know that John and Margaret had several children:

I Joseph Gore b: 1669 in Middlesex Co., VA. Married 1) Mary Allison 2) Lucretia Tugwell

• Henry Gore b: 1671 in Middlesex Co., VA. Married Elizabeth Allison
