Facts and Events
Arthur Orr was one of the Early Settlers of Augusta County, Virginia __________________________ [edit] About Arthur OrrArthur Orr appears to have been in Augusta County area for a very short while beginning abt. 1761, when some of his children were born there according to a familysearch submission. There do not appear to be any records for him in Chalkley's Records, but records do appear there for his sons James, William and Alexander. [edit] Estate Records of Arthur OrrThe Washington Co., VA inventory for Arthur ORR, the Elder, was dated 25 May 1808 and returned to court on 23 Jun 1808. Therefore, Arthur ORR, the Elder, probably died in 1808, not 1807, as he was still alive on 30 Dec 1807 and his inventory was taken 25 May 1808, (Wash. Co., VA Will Book 3:71). Arthur ORR, the Elder’s, inventory was very short, only 13 items (including a Bible) which were appraised at $13.33 and cash notes valued at $1,414.11.

From PARoots Lancaster County query: ORR Arthur ORR, Sr. from Manor Twp., Lancaster Co., PA to Huntington Twp., York Co., PA in 1761. His son, Arthur ORR, Jr. had land next to him in Tyrone Twp. The ORRs went to Washington Co., VA in 1795 where Arthur ORR, Jr. and wife Ann raised a large family. Arthur ORR, Sr. was known as "the Elder" in VA. His son, Arthur ORR, Jr. was known as "Sr." in Washington Co., VA. James ORR, Sr. (son of Arthur and Ann) married Mary CARSON (dau. of Moses CARSON and Margaret McGREW, the daughter of Archibald McGREW and Martha BRACKEN). James and Mary also went to Washington Co., VA and raised a family. Would like to correspond with anyone researching this family.
