Notes:

Parentage for James Gore I has apparently not yet been established. A Sir Paul Gore was sen t from Ireland or England by Queen Elizaebth to start a colony similar to Jamestown. Some believe that James Gore I was a grandson of this original pioneer.

http://linda_walker999.tripod.com/aqwg85.htm believes his father was John Goar, b. 1638 in Middlesex Co., Virginia, d. 1674 Lancaster Co., Va., who was then the son of Paul Gore, b. c1600 in Donegal Co., Ireland, d. c1680 Manor Gore, Donegal Co., Ireland. The ancestry from there is extended back to 1495.

That site seems to identify him as the one who m. Rachel Neville, BUT note that his wife is named Ann in the will, and no daughter named Ester is named. Thus, it may not be the same Michael Ashford.

Michael ASHFORD

From genfourm:
I have been of the opinion that my Mary Ashford who married James Bird at Old Swede's Church in New Castle County, Delaware in 1745, was a child of Michael and Ann Ashford. The Mary in the will of Michael Ashford seemed to have been quite young, along with several other children, as I recall. Mary Ashford and James Bird settled in the part of Orange County, NC, which is now Alamance County. Just north of Alamance is Caswell County, where a William Ashford also settled in the period between 1750 and 1770. Also residing in Caswell County was Nancy Ashford, who was wife of John Walker, Revolutionary soldier who served as one of Washington's aide-de-campes.

The Ashfords owned land in Virginia which was sold by one of the elder sons,(George?) of Michael and Ann Ashford, land which was included in the holdings of George Washington in making up his Mount Vernon Estate. It would appear that these Ashford's, Walkers, and Birds were very much in the right places to support a connecting link.

Here is info given to me by Samuel B. Ashford, my uncle, now deceased, "Michael Ashford & his wife Ann each filed a will in Prince William County, Virginia, in 1734. (Will book "C".) Michael's will named the following children: John, Michael, William, George, Ann, Mary & Constance. Michael probably left Prince George County, Maryland & moved across the
Potomac River into Stafford County, Virginia, in 1712--that part of Stafford became part of Prince William County in 1730 and later Fairfax County in 1742. (Michael Ashford was a vestryman at Pohick Church according to Minutes of the Vestry.)
Part or all of Michael Ashford's estate became part of Mount Vernon. George & his wife Mary as well as John & William.

Prior to July 10, 1789, George Ashford bought 150 acres of land in Newberry County, South Carolina. Mary & George has 18 children. Each used the same given names for their children. George named his oldest son Michael & his oldest daughter Ann. Two of their sons, Michael & George, fought in the American Revolutionary Army in South Carolina. There is also
record of George Ashford residing in Union County, South Carolina, in 1784, on 163 acres. Evidently lived on this farm until he bought farm in Newberry County in 1789."

Info from http://linda_walker999.tripod.com/aqwn82.htm:

Parents may be John Neville and Johanna Porter .

Notes from genforum:
Three children can be proven for the immigrant John Nevill, whose will was probated 4 February 1664/5, Charles Co., MD.
Those children were Eleanor, William and Rachel. The first two were likely by his wife Bridget Thorseby/Throsley, and the
third child was probably by his wife Joanna/Joanne Porter (b. ca. 1627). After his death, and before 13 Aug. 1666, Joanna
married Thomas Hussey, probably in Charles Co., MD.

Children of John Nevill:
1. Eleanor, b. ca. Christmas 1640, St. Mary's Co., MD; m. John Lambert by 1662, probably in Charles Co., MD.
2. William, b. by 1645, probably St. Mary's Co., MD.
3. Rachel, b. ca. 1658, probably St. Mary's Co., MD; m. Michael Ashford by 13 Nov. 1677, probably Charles Co., MD.

The reader is referred to
1. Testamentary Proceedings, Liber 1 E:87-88 for John's will.
2. Archives of Maryland 53:134 for Joanna's age.
3. Archives of Maryland 53:330 and 53:214 for son William.
4. Archives of Maryland 60:278-79 and 53:329-30 for daughter Eleanor.

I have found (on the Web, actually), information that Bridget was married to John when he came to America in 1634.
According to a Petition, found in the Land Records of St. Mary's County, MD (Now in Calvert County), Liber 4, Folio 186 of
the Land Warrants (Records are kept in Annapolis, MD), John transported his wife, Bridget, in 1639, from England.
