The elusive Thomas Poore is mentioned by both Alfred Poore and James Savage. He appears to have settled with his brother, Daniel, in Andover, MA, where a Thomas Poore died in 1695. (James Savage notes, "a Thomas Poor/e's death was mentioned as 7 Feb. 1695." The notation was recorded with information about Thomas' brother, Daniel's family.) No record can be found of a marriage or re-location, but many believe that he went from Andover to Virginia and may be the Thomas Poore who settled on the Chowanoke River in 1663. He could have returned to Andover, where he died. There were many English-born Thomas Poores in the Colonies during this time, from Barbados to Massachusetts. One of these was Thomas Poore, born 1660 in England and was the ancestor of the Goochland County, VA Poores.
