General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Besore


The Besores, under the various names of Besore, Basore, Bashor, Bashore and Basehore, were to be found quite frequently over the county of Franklin, Pennsylvania, especially in the townships of Washington, Letterkenny and Greene. The name varies greatly, but it may be taken with safety that all of the above, as well as other names deviating slightly in spelling from any of these, belong to the same stock-simply branches of the same tree. The stock is supposed to be German, but it is believed to be Huguenotic in origin, having settled in Germany during the persecution of the Huguenots in France. The same belief also holds that the original name was Le or La Bessier or Basseur.
