Generation 6

Isreal Clore was born 15 April 1779 at Culpeper (now Madison) Co., VA and died 18 August 1854 at Waveland, Montgomery Co., IN. He married Frances Deer 7 or 17 February 1805 at Hebron Lutheran Church, Madison Co., VA. She was born 3 December 1782 and died 17 April 1870 at Montgomery Co., IN. For futher information on her ancestry see the Deer Family. Family tradition has it that Israel Clore's siblings as well as Frances Deer's siblings migrated to Boone Co., KY as a group and then on to Indiana together . Another family tradition has Isreal Clore walking to Indiana from Kentucky carrying his gun. This does not seem unlikely as Indiana is just across the Ohio River from Boone Co., KY. Whether he walked all the way to Montgomery Co. or not is debatable. He may have purchased his land in Indiana sight unseen before migrating. One of my father's prized possessions is a mantle clock originally owned by Israel Clore and it still works. Israel Clore and Frances Deer had the following children:

Joel Clore

(Hans Michael Klaar's ancestry is found on my Clore Family page.) Hans Michael Klaar married Anna Barbara, surname unknown, c1706 also probably at Gemmingen.2 She was also born c1687.3

According to the Gemmingen parish register Hans Michael Klaar age 30, his wife Anna Barbara age 30 and their 3 children were leaving that parish for Pennsylvania. This was recorded by the minister on 12 July 1717.4

For information on the Klaar's passage to America, where they landed in Virginia not Pennsylvania as intended and were part of the 1717 or Second Colony at Germanna and other information on the Germanna Colonies, I highly recommend the Germanna History notes by John Blankenbaker. They are available at the following URL: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/johnsgermnotes/germhis1.html. Notes # 528-536 relate the history of the passage but I recommend reading them all for a better understanding of the groups that make up the Germanna Colonies. Briefly, a group of Germans, among whom were Michael and Barbara Klaar as well as Michael's sister Susanna (Klaar), her husband Philipp Joseph Weber and their son Hans Dieterich Weber (aka Peter Weaver) contracted with one Capt. Tarbett of the ship Scott at Rotterdam, Holland for passage to Pennsylvania. It was customary for ships to stop over in England before continuing on to America and the Scott put in at London. While there Capt. Tarbett was put in prison for debt. After his release, Capt. Tarbett set sail for America and landed in Virginia where the Germans were sold as indentured servants. Unknown to the Germans, Capt. Tarbett had been in Virginia the year before and had contact with Alexander Spotswood to whom the Germans were indentured. Spotswood wanted a group to settle on the frontier as a buffer between the English settlers and the Native Americans.

For information on Michael Clore's life in Virginia, see Chronology of Michael Clore in Virginia.

Barbara, Michael Clore's first wife, died after 15 November 17505 probably in Culpeper Co., VA and he married second to Anne Elizabeth, surname unknown, before 14 July 17606. Michael's second wife, known as Elizabeth, died in 1766 in Culpeper Co., VA where an inventory of her estate was made 19 June 1766.7

Michael Clore died between 10 May 1762 when his will was made and 17 March 1763 when his will was probabted at Culpeper Co., VA.8
