* The Poores extended to many villages in North Hampshire. John and 

 Thomas Poore were living at St. Mary Bourne before 1545 ; where they 

 remained from generation to generation nntil recent times. Some of this old 

 yeoman stock occupied a good position in Newbury in the 16th and 17th 

 centuries ; and several members of the family went from Hampshire and 

 Wiltshire to New England about the year 1635, and their descendants are 

 prominent citizens of Newbury and other towns in Massachusetts at the 

 present day. The Poores of Newbury (England) were connected by marriage 

 with the old Wiltshire family of Morse, also an honoured name in the Annals 

 of New England. In the pariah church of St. Mary Bourne an inscription 

 records that the Church clock was put up at the expense of Mr. Richard Poore, 

 a native of the parish, in the year 1826.
