       John Clore (son of John Clore) was born January 22, 1749, diedDecember, 1824, married Margaret Blankenbaker, who was born November 28,1749, died January 6, 1840, daughter of Michael Blankenbaker and wifeElizabeth Barbara Gaar, said Michael being the son of John NicolausBlankenbaker of the 1717 colony.  John Clore and Margaret Blankenbakerwere probably married in 1767 in which year she was sponsor at thebaptism of Julius Christler, son of John George Christler.  She alsoserved as sponsor of other children of John George Christler, 1769 and1773.  John Clore, Jr., and wife Margaret Clore served as sponsors ofseveral of the children of Michael Clore, 1770, 1772, and 1773.  For someunaccountable reason the baptisms of their own children do not appear inthe Register.  John Clore and wife later joined the Baptist Church butprobably not before 1775.  [Note from Cathi - They are on the communionlist for Christmas 1776 at Hebron Lutheran, see below.]  In 1787, 1788,and 1792 John Clore was taxed for 278 and 211 acres, Culpeper Co., Va.In Madison Co., Va., 1814 he was taxed for 133, 75, 100, 160, 22, and 178acres, described as lying 9 miles north of the Court House, on theRobinson River and joining land of William Strother.  These lands seem tohave been in part at least portions of the patents of Michael Clore.  OnFebruary 7, 1799 John Clore and wife Peggy sold to Thomas Shurley andZachary Shurley.  Three letters of this John Clore are in existence andnow owned by Mrs. Emma Clore Vetter of Norfolk, Virginia.  The first ofthese letters is dated May 23, 1805, from Madison Co., Va. to his sonBenjamin Clore and other of his children in Kentucky.  The second letteris dated October 31, 1809 and is addressed to Benjamin Clore, JeffersonCo., Ky., also to Elijah, Lawrence, and Solomon Clore, and his son-in-lawJesse Yager.  This letter mentions land which he owns in Kentucky whichsomeone else is claiming and he instructs Benjamin Clore to hire a lawyerand defend his claim.  He also speaks of trying to sell his land andmoving out to Kentucky.  But he never did.  The third letter is datedMarch 29, 1810 and is addressed to Benjamin and Anna Clore, Elijah andFrances Clore, Lawrence and Lucy Clore.  He says that his son Abraham isplanning to move to Kentucky the following fall and that he is to occupyhis (John's) farm.  He also recites several business matters he iscarrying on for Shirleys and Wilhoits now living in Kentucky who had oncelived in Madison Co., Va.
       The records of the Robinson River Baptist Church show that in 1825 acommittee was appointed to write the history of John Clore's life, hehaving recently departed.  Evidently he was considered a man of someprominence.  Unfortunately this history, if ever written, seems not tohave survived.

In 1808, five brothers by the name of Clore traveled from Culpepper[sic], VA and settled on a 2,000 acres tract in the same area as the Rossgrant.  The brothers were Benjamin, Elijah, Lawrence, Solomon and James.The brothers also brought their three sisters:  Elizabeth, Ann andSarah.  Most of the migrating families were of German ancestry and camefrom Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.  According to the writings ofW.C. Barrickman, the settlers from Virginia probably came over the"Wilderness Road," while the others came by boat down the Ohio River fromthe Monongahela River in Pennsylvania.
