    3. Bill You might try the "Early Settlers of Sangamon County" book. I may not remember correctly but I thought that they were mentioned. I have this information: William Orr b. 8 Feb, 1820 in Ohio m. Minervas J. Drennan [daughter of Ezekial N. and Mary Viney Drennan] on 29 Aug 1848 in Sangamon county, Illinois. William died 18 Feb 1912 in Adair county Missouri and is buried in Highland Park Cemetery. There children were Emma F., b. 1849; Henrietta E., b. 1852; Alfred R., b. 1855 and; Mary A., b. 1858. I do not know if William is from your Orr family but it seems to fit. Have you tried probate records for the Orr family via IRAD. If it is there, it might named the children.
