ISAAC GORE, SR.

Isaac Gore, the son of John R. Gore and Grandson of Joshua Gore, was born in 1788, near Warsaw,North Carolina, west of the East Cape Fear River on the coastal plains of North Carolina. That area of rich farmland, was the site of many medium sized farms and large plantations at the time of his birth, about twelve years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

During his childhood, most of the farm families in that area were slave holders, but it is not known if his family ever owned slaves. Some insight into the everyday life of the average family there can be imagined by reading the early history of Duplin County, North Carolina. Early Abstract of Wills of Duplin County on file in the State Archives at Raleigh,North Carolina reveal some knowledge of what the average family owned at that time.

Soon after his twenty-first birthday he married Susan Ann Bradley, the daughter of John Bradley,a planter. The fact of this marriage is noted in the early marriage records of North Carolina. From this marriage ten children were born five sons and five daughters. Eight of these children were born in North Carolina and the two youngest, daughters were born in Alabama.

Isaac was member number 300 of (Moore's) 3rd Regiment, North Carolina Militia (War of 1812). His rank was private. He was drafted into the War of 1812 on September 7, 1814. He was discharged, after cessation of hostilities, at Wilmington, North Carolina. As a veteran of that war between the United States and Great Britain, he was later able to obtain two Bounty Land Grants. He also received several Land Patents.

In 1834 his first son married and settled in Duplin County,North Carolina. His three elder daughters had also married, by that time and had settled in the same area. His son Shadrack,was born in 1820 and three more sons were born there before that adventurous family decided to seek a better life,elsewhere.

That decision may have been prompted by the fact land was available and selling cheap in the Alabama Grants. The older son and the three older daughters,who by that time had their own families, probably stayed behind when the long trip was made, however, there is some evidence that some of them may have come later.

The date of the beginning of the trip westward isn't known, but it's certain that Isaac, his wife, Susan Ann and their three younger sons were in Lowndes County, Alabama in April,1836 where Isaac acquired 160 acres of land with a Certificate of Warrant Number 28594. This transaction took place April 5, 1836 at the land office in Saint Stephens, the old capitol of the Alabama Territory. This deed record and other deed records of adjoining property on file in the Lowndes County Courthouse support the fact that some neighbors from North Carolina had also settled there.

The records of early births and marriages of Alabama, now on file at many L.D.S. libraries show Susan Ann Gore was born to Isaac and Susan Ann Bradely Gore November 9, 1837 in Montgomery County, Alabama. The birth of their other daughter is also noted on these records.

After the birth of their two youngest daughters they disposed of their land in Lowndes County and moved to Butler County. He acquired more land there, as well as several tracts in Pike County. The Bureau of LandManagement list six land transactions by Isaac Gore in a period of about fifteen years. In at least one of these transactions, he used a Bounty Land Grant. Most of these land transactions were completed at the U.S. Land Office at old Cahaba, the first capitol of Alabama, after it became a state in 1819. The title to some of this farmland may have later been transferred to his son,Shadrack Gore, and other relatives who, by this time were living in the area.

This is implied in the 1850 Federal Census for Pike County,Alabama, which shows Shadrack Gore,age 30, and his wife,Margarete,age 21, and their two children, Melvin, age 5, and John,age 3 months.

On the same page of this census, listed as living nearby, shows James W. Gore, age 60, and his son, Calvin, age 27. Most records indicate Isaac and James W. were brothers. There is a possibility these Gore families had decided to dispose of their holdings in Alabama early as April,1854, when Isaac sold 380 acres to his brother-in-law, James Guy. This sale is recorded in Deed Book "A", ppg.76, in Butler County Probate Court records. There are other records of land sales he made there,the last of which was dated February 18,1856.

Twenty years after arriving in Alabama, these Gore families were ready to venture further west to Texas. Isaac had received a second Bounty Land Grant March 10, 1856, and it is believed that he intended to use this document to acquire land in Texas.

There may have been several reasons why they came the East Texas, after twenty years in Alabama, but the principal reason probably stemmed from the fact that a cousin, Thomas Jefferson Chambers, had vast holdings in Liberty and Chambers Counties, Texas at that time.

Chambers,who was the son of Thomas and Mary Gore Chambers, was a cousin to Isaac and James W. Gore. The fact he was disposing of some of his land in Chambers and Liberty Counties had possibly already led to an agreement between these cousins. The fact that Chambers was in politics in Texas and was very popular, as he had taken an active part in events leading up to the Texas Revolution, could also have been a reason for their move.

Whatever the reason, the 1860 Federal Census for Chambers County, Texas,taken three years later, on page 08,line447, shows Isaac Gore,age 72 and wife,Susan Ann,age 66, living in Chambers County, Texas.

On the same page, it shows Calvin Gore, age 37, and his wife,Susan, age 21, and their two children, daughter, Sarah, age 3, and son, David, age 1, living next door.

The Chambers County Courthouse burned in 1875, with loss of many early records. There is no existingrecord of Isaac Gore's death, which occured sometime after 1863 and before the 1870 Federal Census for Hardin County,Texas was taken. This census lists Susan Ann Gore as a widow,age 76.

The 1880 Federal Census for the same area shows Susan Ann Gore as a widow,age 86, still living in the same household with her son, Calvin Gore and his wife, Susan.

The 1880 Federal Census also lists their six children. Some records indicate Susan Ann Gore was more than ninety years of age at time of her death.

According to tradition, she lived to be more than one hundred years of age. To date, I have found no documented proof to support this claim.

The gravesites of Isaac and Susan Ann Gore are believed to be in Hardin County,Texas,either in the Tanton or the Alexander Cemeteries. The Alexander Cemetery is on private property. It is believed that their youngest daughter, Susan Ann is buried there, near her parents, although, there is evidence that her husband, Calvin Gore, is buried in the Tanton Cemetery.
