I am a life long resident of Montgomery County New York. I love history, especially local history, and I see value in preserving it. My maiden name was Oarr. It was altered when my ancestors on that side arrived in the Mohawk valley after the Civil War. The name was originally spelled Hoare. many relatives just dropped the H...others used Orr.
