This post is number 43 in the series of the #52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Challenge where a group of us blog about a different ancestor for each week of the year.  To learn more about the 52 Ancestor Challenge visit Amy Johnson’s site at Amy’s website.

Its Guy’s and Gore’s

In post #52Ancestors – No. 42 Lemuel Guy, I mentioned Lemuel’s wife Rebecca Gore.  Love blossomed again in the Guy and Gore families.  Lemuel’s brother, John Guy, married Betsey Gore, the sister of Rebecca.  Allegedly, the parents of Betsey and Rebecca are John Gore and Francis Pinkney.  I have not found a record that can support those names.

Marriage Date Groom Bride
03/12/1796 Guy John Gore Betsey
12/27/1803 Guy Lemuel Gore Rebecca

There is an 1831 estate file for Francis Gore that lists articles sold.  None of the purchasers had the last name “Guy.”  I was hoping to find a clue, but alas, there was not.
