In regard to the Orr family it is reported that: "...John Orr had come to Virginia in 1750. He was a son of Rev. Alexander Orr, of "Hazelside", Renfrewshire, Scotland, and his wife, Lady Agnes, daughter of Hon. John Dalrymple, Laird of Waterside; and grandson of Rev. Alexander Orr, of Burrowfield, Renfrewshire, an ardent covenanter, who suffered martyrdom for his religious faith, and his wife Lady Barbara Craufurd, of Auchinaines. The Orrs were an ancient family of Renfrewshire, dating back to 1100 A. D., and the Craufurd family was indeed one of the most ancient and highly connected families of the realm, being descended within four generations from King James IV, of Scotland, through at least a dozen separate lines, notably those of Stewart, Eglington, Seton, Lamont, and others (vide. "A Few Old Families" McCall, Glasgow). "General account of Shire of Renfrew," Craufurd and Seton, Glasgow, 1792."
