Core, was born May 09, 1770 in Monongalia County, Virginia (now West Virginia) and died May 20, 1861 in Monongalia County, Virginia.

Christopher and Hannah are buried in the Mt. Hermon Cemetery, Monongalia County, West Virginia. A family tradition states that Christopher Core saw the last Indian invader on Dolls Run and caused him to flee by the old stratagem of appearing to call to a large band of friends. In 1815 when he was 45 years old, being unable to write his own name, he gradually learned. His first home was near the later Continental mine, above Cassville, Monongalia County, West Virginia. Later he removed to the head of Scotts Run. He was prominent in Dolls Run public life, and his name is repeatedly encountered in a public capacity. Children of Christopher and Hannah (Snider) Core are: Rebecca Core (1808 - 1901) daughter of Christopher and Hannah (Snider) Core married in Monongalia County, Virginia, Abt. 1828, Benjamin Shriver (1805-1892). They resided in Tyler County, Virginia (Now West Virginia). Please see The Shriver Family page for their family and descendants.
