Notations from transcribed records in Ohio County, VA (now W VA) have that he is a shoemaker 'from Washington PA'. Although I can not find him on the 1850 or 1860 census, he is known to have been in or near Wheeling, Ohio County, (W)VA in the late 1850s and early 1860s. He married Nancy C HARPER in 1853 in Ohio County VA. By the early 1860s, he and his family are in New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas County, Ohio. Nancy died in August 1864, and by the end of the year, John had married Hester Ann 'Hettie' ROBB, daughter of William L ROBB, originally from Florence, Washington County, PA. By the mid 1870s, the family moved to Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, PA, and John worked for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. John and Hester are buried in Chartiers Cemetery. John Wilson ORR and Nancy C HARPER had three known surviving children: Sarah Elizabeth 'Lizzie' ORR, who married Charles Christian SHULTZ in 1881 and moved to Pueblo, Colorado; Mary Catherine ORR, who did not marry and went to live with her sister in Pueblo after the death of her stepmother Hester in 1916; and Alonzo Loring ORR, who married Eliza A FITTON in 1885, had two known children Bessie May and John/Jack W ORR. John's obit does not mention other family members with the exception of his wife, daughter Mary C, and a daughter living in Colorado (Lizzie). However, son Alonzo appears on the 1910 San Francisco County CA census. John Wilson ORR had an older sister, Elizabeth, born 1825. In 1850, she is listed on the census as living in Allegheny City, Allegheny County, PA, and would marry David LITTLE of Wilkinsburg later that year. Cemetery records for Elizabeth note that she was born in Washington Co, PA. Would anyone have John Wilson or Elizabeth ORR in their notes or family lines?
