Appraisal 25 April 1763 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following information is from the Clore-Glore Genealogy manuscript by Delma Rae Carpenter, Sr. (1881-1967). A copy of this is available at the Madison Co., VA Library. This manuscript is a typescript and update of another, handwritten, Clore-Glore Genealogy manuscript by Dr. Arthur Leslie Keith. The original of Keith's manuscript is at the Newberry Library, Chicago., IL. Please note that some of this information has been updated by other researchers in the meantime and I'll try to add notes with the current information. Pages 19-20: Peter Clore (son of Michael Clore) signs his name to an acknowledgment, October 15, 1761, whereby he binds himself to the sum of 500 pounds that his father Michael Clore shall live undisturbed on the plantation where he now lives and after his death his mother-in-law (stepmother) shall live there until her death. This bond has a close connection with the deed of 1760 whereby Michael Clore sells to son Peter Clore 446 acres of land. We have record of no other acquisition of land by Peter Clore. But from his will we see that he had 660 acres which may have included the 446 sold him, conditionally, in 1760 by his father. His will is dated November 13, 1762 and was probated March 17, 1763, the same day his father's will was probated. This Michael Clore and his son Peter Clore died within a very few days of each other. We should like to know the circumstances of this unusual happening but that is impossible now. Peter Clore's will was probated first, which fact may be an indication that he died first. His will was witnessed by Samuel Klug (the German pastor), Michael Leatherer, and Nicholas Crigler. The testator appointed John Clore and John Yager (his brother and wife's brother) as executors. They both renounced the executorship and the widow Barbara Clore was made executor. He bequeaths to wife Barbara his house and plantation on which he was then living with 50 acres. To son Adam Clore he bequeathed 210 acres joining Pal Leatherer; to son Solomon Clore he leaves 200 acres joining Adam Clore and running from one mountain to the other; to son Moses Clore he leaves 200 acres joining Solomon Clore and the plantation the testator was then living on; also personalties are left to daughters Delilah Clore, Elizabeth Clore, and Susanna Clore. On June 16, 1763 in Culpeper Co., Va., Adam Clore chose his mother Barbara Clore as his guardian. The court appointed her as guardian 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 given is in all probability the order of their ages and agrees with the order in which they are named in Peter Clore's will excepting that he names sons first and daughters last. Adam was the only child above 14 hence we may assume he was born about 1747 or 1748 and since Adam is described as nearly 100 years old when he died in 1845 this date can not be far wrong. Barbara, the wife of Peter, was born in 1730, as we shall see below, and would be of a marriageable age about 1747. Peter Clore was probably not much older than his wife so it seems safe to say that he was under 40 when he died.
