It looks like people have been asking about Johannes/John Spoor and the Commander-in-Chief’s Guard for over a century.
That company was not technically a bodyguard for Washington, but rather a guard for his headquarters, especially when the files and equipment were moved.
A book was published about the unit in 1904: The Commander-in-Chief’s Guard, Revolutionary War, by C. E. Godfrey. It contains a list of members, and there doesn’t appear to be a Spoor, Spore, or Spurr in the book. But I don’t know how comprehensive it is.
