Other Branches, Including Earls Temple of Stowe and Lords Harlech
Several other members of the Gore family have also gained prominence and higher ranks. Sir John Gore, brother of the first Baronet of the 1622 creation, was Lord Mayor of London in 1624 and is the ancestor of the branch of the family which later inherited through marriage the earldom of Temple of Stowe. His descendants are now Earls Temple of Stowe.
John Gore, 1st Baron Annaly (1718–1784), and Henry Gore, 1st Baron Annaly (1728–1793), were the sons of George Gore, second son of the first Baronet of the 1662 creation. These titles, created as Baron Annaly of Tenelick, in the county of Longford, were created 1766 and 1789 for two brothers who died childless; both titles are now extinct.
John Ormsby-Gore, 1st Baron Harlech, was a descendant of William Gore, third and youngest son of the first Baronet of the 1662 creation. His descendants are now Lords Harlech.

“The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle-queen of yore,
Maryland! my Maryland!”
—James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)
“Nobody had ever instructed him that a slave-ship, with a procession of expectant sharks in its wake, is a missionary institution, by which closely-packed heathen are brought over to enjoy the light of the Gospel.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
“O dark dark dark. They all go into the dark,
The vacant interstellar spaces, the vacant into the vacant,
The captains, merchant bankers, eminent men of letters,
The generous patrons of art, the statesmen and the rulers,
Distinguished civil servants, chairmen of many committees,
Industrial lords and petty contractors, all go into the dark....”
