Sir Paul Gore, 1st Baronet (1567 – September 1629)[1] was an Anglo-Irish politician, soldier and baronet.
Born in London, he was the eldest son of Gerard Gore and his wife Helen Davenant, daughter of Ralph Davenant.[citation needed] Gore had come to Ireland as a commander of a troop of horse and, in 1602, he was despatched to accompany the 1st Earl of Tyrconnell to a meeting with Queen Elizabeth I of England.[2] He sat as Member of Parliament (MP) in the Irish House of Commons for Ballyshannon from 1613 until 1615.[3] On 2 February 1622, he was created a baronet, of Magherabegg, in the County Donegal.[1]
He married Isabella Wycliffe, daughter of Francis Wycliffe and niece of the 1st Earl of Strafford.[4] They had thirteen children, seven daughters and six sons.[5] Gore was buried at the Abbey Church of Donegal.[2] His eldest son Ralph succeeded to the baronetcy and was an ancestor of the Earl of Ross.[5] His son Arthur was himself created a baronet and was an ancestor of the Irish creation of the Earls of Arran, the Barons Harlech as well as the Irish Barons Annaly.[2] His fourth son Francis was the progenitor of the Gore-Booth Baronets.[5]
