About Michael "Big Mike" Clore
http://germannafamily.org/getperson.php?personID=I062748&tree=tree1
A Patriot of the American Revolution for VIRGINIA (Soldier). DAR Ancestor #: A023237
Michael Clore, sometimes called "Big Michael" because he was such a large man,
was born in Culpepper or Madison County, Virginia, Dec. 4, 1746.
He died Dec. 7, 1817. Probably in Va and is probably buried on his farm in lost cemetery with no marker.
He was a gunsmith and cabinet maker by trade and contracted to make 12,000 stand of arms for General Washington-in the Revolutionary War.
During this war the British captured his shops, and he was forced to run to prevent his own capture. He went with General Washington's army after his shops, were captured as a gun repairer and gun tinker. He was a member of the Baptist church and a Freemason.
Tradition says he was present at the initiation, passing and raising of General LaFayette in General Washington's Army Lodge.
After the war was over he held the meetings of his lodge in an upper room of his own log house until better quarters could be obtained.
I allude here to an old letter of John Fishback, the administrator of his estate, which gives the names of his 15 children and number of grand-children and great-grand-children, but it fails -to state the ones to whom the children were married.
NOTES Michael Clore was born the 4th day of December 1746. He died the 7th day of December 1817 being 71 years and 3 days old. Margaret Clore his wife was born the 21st of December 1752. She died the 24th of November 1842, being 89 years, 11 months, and 3 days old.
