The following information is from the Clore-Glore Genealogy manuscript byDelma Rae Carpenter, Sr. (1881-1967).  A copy of this is available at theMadison Co., VA Library.  This manuscript is a typescript  and update ofanother, handwritten, Clore-Glore Genealogy manuscript by Dr. ArthurLeslie Keith.  The original of Keith's manuscript is at the NewberryLibrary, Chicago., IL.  Please note that some of this information hasbeen updated by other researchers in the meantime and I'll try to addnotes with the current information.

Pages 19-20:
       Peter Clore (son of Michael Clore) signs his name to anacknowledgment, October 15, 1761, whereby he binds himself to the sum of500 pounds that his father Michael Clore shall live undisturbed on theplantation where he now lives and after his death his mother-in-law(stepmother) shall live there until her death.  This bond has a closeconnection with the deed of 1760 wherby Michael Clore sells to son PeterClore 446 acres of land.  We have record of no other acquisition of landby Peter Clore.  But from his will we see that he had 660 acres which mayhave included the 446 sold him, conditionally, in 1760 by his father.His will is dated November 13, 1762 and was probated March 17, 1763, thesame day his father's will was probated.  This Michael Clore and his sonPeter Clore died within a very few days of each other.  We should like toknow the circumstances of this unusual happening but that is impossiblenow.  Peter Clore's will was probated first, which fact may be anindication that he died first.  His will was witnessed by Samuel Klug(the German pastor), Michael Leatherer, and Nicholas Crigler.  Thetestator appointed John Clore and John Yager (his brother and wife'sbrother) as executors.  They both renounced the executorship and thewidow Barbara Clore was made executor.  He bequeathes to wife Barbara hishouse and plantation on which he was then living with 50 acres.  To sonAdam Clore he bequeathed 210 acres joining Pal Leatherer; to son SolomonClore he leaves 200 acres joining Adam Clore and running from onemountain to the other; to son Moses Clore he leaves 200 acres joiningSolomon Clore and the plantation the testator was then living on; alsopersonalties are left to daughters Delilah Clore, Elizabeth Clore, andSusanna Clore.  On June 16, 1763 in Culpeper Co., Va., Adam Clore chosehis mother Barbara Clore as his guardian.  The court appointed her asguardian also of her other children, namely, Solomon, Delilah, Elizabeth,Moses, and Susanna, all of whom are described as under 14 years of age,therefore not competent to choose their guardian.  The order here givenis in all probability the order of their ages and agrees with the orderin which they are named in Peter Clore's will excepting that he namessons first and daughters last.  Adam was the only child above 14 hence wemay assume he was born about 1747 or 1748 and since Adam is described asnearly 100 years old when he died in 1845 this date can not be farwrong.  Barbara, the wife of Peter, was born in 1730, as we shall seebelow, and would be of a marriageable age about 1747.  Peter Clore wasprobably not much older than his wife so it seems safe to say that he wasunder 40 when he died.
       Barbara Yager, wife of Peter Clore, was born September 7, 1730, diedabout 1794-5.  She was the daughter of Adam Yager (by his wife SusannaKobler or Cobler), son of Nicholas Yager, one of the 1717 colony.  (Forthe writer's account of the Yager Family, see the William and MaryQuarterly, Second Series, Vol. 9, pages 186-200, and 275-290).  BarbaraClore married 2. Philip Chelf (Jelf) and had children named Chelf.
