Henry Gore was of Scots or Scots-Irish descent. This information is from a letter estimated to have been written in 1887 by Joseph Goar, son of James and Sarah (Farley) Goar and which states:

My grandfather's name was Henry Gore, and of Scotch or Scotch Irish descent. He died in New Market, Va. in the Shenandoah Valley.

Again, I must say that according to the Christ Church Parish Register , Henry Gore was born in Virginia. Since his grandfather Joseph Gore had a monetary account in England (The Virginia Genealogist, Volume 5, No. 3, page 116, Middlesex County wills 1713-1734, page 350) there is a fair probability that Henry was of English descent.
