Name: Michael/"Big Mike" 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. Page 19: Michael Clore. In my article in the William and Mary Quarterly,Vol. XXVI, 181, I endeavor to assign certain children to this Michael. Iam satisfied now that all the children given there were the children ofMichael Clore, son of John Clore. There is then no record of thisMichael, son of George Clore, following the probate of this will. Heprobably died young. Page 23-24: Michael Clore (son of John Clore) was born December 1, 1746, diedDecember 7, 1817, in Madison Co., Va. The title "Big Mike", applied tohim, to distinguish him from other Michael Clores, suggests that he was aman of large size. The Quarter-Master General's report for District ofCharlottesville shows that he was paid for his services as blacksmith,October - December, 1781. Tradition claims that he was a gunsmith.These services qualify his descendants for admission into the patrioticsocieties. He was also a cabinet-maker. The Clores living near Madison,Va., today, furniture makers, may have received their craft by directinheritance from him. The writer has a pair of half-round mahoganytables, made in very substantial manner and still in good condition.These tables were in possession of the Clore family near Madison for morethan a century. They are clearly of the Heppelwhite style which was thevogue about 1780. The writer believes that in all probability they weremade by Michael Clore himself. Michael Clore was one of the executors ofhis father's will. In 1782 he was taxed for 185 acres, in 1786 for 48acres. In Madison Co., Va., he was taxed for 186 acres down to 1814, inwhich year his land was described as lying 3 miles east of the CourtHouse and on the Robinson River, which seems to identify it as part ofthe land which Michael Clore bought of Christopher Moyer, 1744. [Ahandwritten note, probably made by Delma Carpenter, Sr. says this is "abad guess" and in fact Michael purchased the land rather than inheritedit.] The land is also described as joining land of John Clore, dec'd.In 1814, Michael Clore was taxed for 500 acres, "from Weaver's Estate",lying on the Robinson River, and in 1815 and 1816 for a total of 686acres. Michael Clore married Margaret Weber (Weaver) in 1769, who wasborn December 19, 1752 (according to the Hebron Birth Register) orDecember 21, 1752, as given by tradition. She died November 24, 1842.She was the daughter of John Weber by his wife Barbara Kaffer (Cafer,etc.), daughter of Michael Kaffer of the 1717 colony. John Weaver wasthe son of Peter Weaver who died 1763. Michael Clore and wife Margarethad 16 children of whom the first five are recorded in the Birth Registerof Hebron Church. The newsletter Beyond Germanna, Vol. 11, No. 4, July 1999, Published andedited by John Blankenbaker, PO Box 120, Chadds Ford PA 19317-0120 has anarticle on the "Parentage of Michael ("Big Mike") Clore". Authors of thearticle [John Blankenbaker, Nancy (Moyers) Dodge and Cathleen "Cathi"(Clore) Frost concluded that, based on land and baptismal evidence, thisMichael Clore was most likely the son of George Clore and BarbaraWeaver. In Germanna Record #10, he was identified as the son of JohnClore. A letter written by John Clore of Crawfordsville, IN in 1895 tohis cousin Howard D Clore of Norwood, IA (in possession of Cathi Frost ofSt. Helens, OR) also identifies Michael's father as John Clore. In alater article published in Beyond Germanna [look up date], I (Cathi CloreFrost) concluded that "Big Mike" was indeed the son of John Clore. Theland evidence of the first article proved to be inacurate. George alsohad a son of that name but circumstantial evidence indicates he must havedied without heirs, most likely young and unmarried.

Several Genuine Signatures of Nation's Seventh President in Possession of Wayne Clore. By Dick Haislet Many persons read within the last two weeks an article in a nationalweekly, a story about the famous Hermitage located 12 miles out ofNashville, Tenn., and its equally famous owner, the hard fightingguntoting hero of New Orleans and the seventh presiden of the UnitedStates. This week President Andrew Jackson came to light in Lucas county. Theother evening Wayne Clore, who owns a farm six miles north of Lucasbrought several old land patents into the office of The CharitonNewspapers. Written on sheep skin parchment, these five old land patents ranged inages from 126 years to 116 years old, three bearing Jackson's signature. The titles themselves were taken out by Clore's great grandfather on landabout 45 miles north of Indianapolis, Ind. Clore who just recently wassent the titles, suspects there might be quite a few more, as the earlierClore family at one time owned some 3,000 acres in that vicinity. The earliest of the five land patents is dated Feb. 6, 1824, and in oneplace bears what appears to be President James Monroe's signature. However, where the final signature should be afixed, time seems to haveobliterated the name. Clore says he assumes it is legal, as the titlehas the seal of the United States, and is counter signed by theCommissioner of General Land office. Before the Homestead Act, all such land, as purchased by Clore'sancestors, had to be negotiated for at public auction, with the minimumprice set by the U. S. Government at two dollars an acre. These were public land ceded to the Government, and were originally usedto retire Federal war debts; or were given as a bonus to veterans of theRevolutionary War or their families. As claims for public landdecreased, the government found itself with more and more land, anddecided (with a series of bills) on the public auction method of itsdisposal. The states in which public land lay, by law could not tax it, orinterfere with its disposal by the United States. Clore's great grandfather, Israel, farmed in Boone county, Ky., and it'svery probable that he never saw his Indiana land holdings. Clorebelieves he either purchased the land for his children or more possibly,for land speculation which was quite popular at that time. Old Israel Clore seems to have passed down some of his shrewdness to hissons, as to the value of land because Clore's grandfather, Howard, madeland purchased in the present day Lucas county area. Unlike Israel,grandfather Clore made the trip to Iowa from Indiana on horseback himselfand personally picked out his land before buying. This was about 1850. Land purchased in this area amounted to about 1,000 acres, but whenClore's father and uncles came out from Indiana to claim it they foundquite a good deal of it had gone to squatters by default, and so theydivided up the remaining land themselves. The Wayne L. Clore farm todayis 440 acres. So, if you ever run across an old land patent don't dismiss it as aninteresting piece of paper because it might contain history that concernsyou.
