notes

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

John came to America 26 Feb 1653. Jim Gore states that early VA records have "clearly shown that Joseph and Henry Goare were the only children of the immigrant John and his wife Margaret."

From Ted Gill: In Lower Norfolk records, p. 44, 15 Apr 1653 , a certificate is noted for Thomas Willoughby, Jr., for transporting, among others, John Gore. Thus Willoughby claimed Gore as a headright, and Gore would have come from England before that time.

In OB 2:348, under date of 29 Nov 1665, and recorded in Lancaster Co., 01 Jun 1666, Augustine Moone gave John Gore his power of attorney. Since Abraham Moone was dead by this t ime, one wonders if Augustine was of his family. (*check notes on David Allison for Abraham Moone).

On 16 Jan 1658 John Gore patented 150 acres of land on th e north side of the Peanketanke River in Lancaster Co, Va . I have been unable to determine if he was an emigrant o r a descendant of thomas Gore who was among the 1st settler s at Jamestown in 1607. His roots are in England tho, sinc e he maintained a bank account in London.

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 Co.
There was a Thomas Gore 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 colon'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 Va. I have no info on that.
John Gore's wife was named Margaret. 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.

descent

From http://www.wargs.com/political/gore.html "Ancestry of Al Gore" by William Addams Reitwiesner

"As shown above, Vice President Al Gore's immigrant Gore ancestor was John Goare of Middlesex County, Virginia, who arrived before 1677. If there was any connection between James Gore and John Goare, it would have to have been before they emigrated (separately) to North America, but their origins are (currently) unknown."
