    James L. Gore, a dedicated researcher and colleague and a contributor to The
    Gore Family Newsletter, informed me that he had found in Rockbridge County,
    Virginia, the inventory and appraisal of estate for a James Gore, dated 6 June 1831. In
    distribution entry dated 26 September 1837 the widow Rebecca was named, and Jordan D. Mitchell was identified as "heir" along with the Gore heirs of James Gore. [Will Book 7, pp. 4-5, pp. 45-46; Will Book 8, pp. 37-38.] Thus, finally I had documentation for father of Isabel Gore. I already had abstracted from the Marriage Register that a James Gore married Rebecca Ross 18 May 1790 in Rockbridge County, Virginia. It was ju st a short time later that I found the marriage record for Jordan D. Mitchell and Isabel J. Gore on 19 April 1818 in the Register of Botetourt County, Virginia.
    Now the question arose: Who were James' parents? No clue was in the Register; however, the bonds and consent forms at the Virginia State Archives furnished the answer.
    Michael Gore gave permission 16 April 1790 for his "sun" James Gore to marry Rebeckah Ross and signed the consent in his own hand. On 8 April 1790 Robeart Ross signed consent for his "doughter" Rebe~. Ross to marry James Gore. Michael Gore was surety for another marriage, possibly that of a daughter, Anne Gore, who married Abraham Smith 12 May 1788 in Botetourt County, Virginia.
