Hi Everyone! Am looking for any/all information on Hugh ORR and William M ORR. I believe that Hugh ORR is the father of William M ORR (b 1811 in KY) and Alex B ORR (b 1809 in Caldwell Co), however, the following early census do not tell me enough to be certain, any suggestions? Thanks in advance...Nancy Orr-Erb 1850 Graves Co William ORR, wife Nancy, dau's Mary,Lucy,Frances,sons James, Jesse,Benjamin,John,Horace 1840 Graves Co William ORR, 1 female 20-30 (Nancy), 2 females 0-5 (Mary,Lucy) 1830 Caldwell Co William ORR 1840 Graves Co Hugh ORR, 1male 10-15, 1male 50-60,1female 20-30, 1female 60-70 1830 Hickman Co Hugh ORR 1850 Graves Co Alex B ORR,wife Caroline, daus MI,MM,ML and son ZT 1840 Graves Co Alexander B ORR I have an obit on Alex B ORR which indicates he was born in Princeton KY. Also found the will of an Alexander ORR in Caldwell Co dated 1817, referencing his sons William, Hugh, and Alexander. And just recently received from the United Methodist Archives in NJ the obit on my grandfather Benjamin Franklin ORR which I will share with you: from 1920 Minutes of the Louisville Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South B.F. ORR. After a long and useful life, devoted to God and his fellowman, the Rev. Benjamin ORR, for forty-seven years a prominent figure in Kentucky Methodism, passed from this life on the morning of July 31, 1920. He sank peacefully to sleep surrounded by his children, who were deeply devoted to him. The following Sunday afternoon he was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at Paris, KY., where he had lived with his children, Dr. James A. Orr and Misses Olivia and Ruth Orr, since his superannuation in 1916, following a paralytic stroke during his fourth year as pastor at Bardstown. Brother ORR was a man of striking personality and appearance, a type of the true Kentucky gentleman. He was born in Graves County, Kentucky, August 5, 1848. His parents were William and Nancy ORR, and he was the ninth of eleven children. His education was that furnished by the schools of his community and was seriously hampered when the Civil War broke out and the county in which he lived was overrun by the armies of both the Union and the Confederacy. Throughout his life he was an industrious student and educated himself to a far greater degree than many of whose earlier opportunities had been more propitious than his. {6 paragraphs follow regarding his 4 marriages and church activity, will happily provide if there is further interest) Besides Dr ORR and Missed Olivia and Ruth, he is survived by two sons, Benjamin ORR, Jr., Paris and Eugene M. ORR, Louisville, and two daughters, Mrs. Edward E PERRY, Sonora, and Mrs. C.M. MCGHEE, Newport. written by S.J. THOMPSON
