Later generations frequently dropped the "e," and spelled the name "Poor," only to have subsequent descendants return the "e," as happened in my family. As all three ways of spelling the name are pronounced the same, we cannot be sure how a particular person choose to spell his or her name by consulting court records or vital statistics. Consequently, I have used the spelling, "Poore," throughout the manuscript. VII Vlll
