About Mary Ann Gore
Mary Ann Gore 9/4/1803 - 9/4/1870 Mary Ann Gore was born on 9/4/1803 in Bug Hill, Columbus County, NC and died on 9/4/1870 somewhere in SC. She was 67 years old. The true identity of Bessie Mae Etheridge's Grandmother is unknown. Through DNA we have confirmed a connection to Henry Jasper Long's wife. We believe his wife's name might have been Ann Gore, born 9/4/1803, in Bug Hill, Columbus County, NC. She is believed to have died in SC. One report says she died in 1850. However, if she did Henry Long must have married another woman named Mary who was also the same age. Children: Henry (1836), John (1837), Margaret (3/1840), Joe (1844), Mary (1845), and Martha (1849) We would love to hear from anyone with additional information about this family.
