From other sources:
!MARRIAGE, OCCUPATION: The Descendants of Joshua Gore by B. Otis Prince, The Columbus Co. Library, Whiteville NC. "...a man of character and means. He was much interested in the politics of his day and was active in all Civic affairs. His home was near what is now Pireway, N. C., and is reputed to have been one of the finest homes in that section." "I remember my father talking about Colonel John Gore, and how he tried to build a city out of Pireway. He worked hard to get a railroad to come into that area. There used to be a lot of stores and bar rooms all around the area. Turpentine stills and coopers shops were where Mrs. Lester Gore's house is now and the old pits are still noticeable." First quote by B. Otis Prince; by Mr. Anderson.

From B. Otis Prince: "He, with his brother-in-law Thomas Frink,* was on the committee for forming the dividing line between Brunswick Counties and Columbus during the early years of 1809-10. He later served in the House of Representatives [of NC], was road commissioner, Justice of the Peace and very civic minded. He owned in excess of seven thousand acres of land in the Seven Creeks area, Pireway and along the North Carolina South Carolina line. It was with this beginning that his Son, John "Squire" Gore began building a vast fortune.
"A small town, named Pireway, which still exist in North Carolina is much to the credit of Colonel Gore, who tried to develop it into a prosperous city. It was much like the old western cities, with several stores, and bar rooms. Pireway was the center of a large Turpentine business. Cornelious Thomas was
active in this area with this industry. Several of the old timers speak of the old turpentine stills that used to be near the home of Mrs. Lester Gore, and how an old coopers shop was built in what is now her side yard. Those who are curious may still see the pits in which to turpentine pit is solid.
"Colonel Gore was endeared by those of the community who knew him and it is said that none came to his door hungry and left without food or lodging if they desired it."

*Unless Otis Prince was wrong he had a 4th wife, a Frink Lady.
