"
The records of Henry County
Virginia reveal that in Dec of
1777 David, his sons John and
James
took an Oath of Allegiance
to the State of Virginia before
George Waller" This Oath was
required
of all male persons
over the age of 18 and it
indicates that they were
supporting the State of
Virginia
and the Continental Congress in
the Revolution. John would have
been 22 at the time and
his next
son James would be 19."( Work of
Edgar Matlock)

Due to DNA testing, I believe
that James B Matlock who is

James Wesley Orr was born on
July 19, 1841 in Lee County,
Virginia. He was the tenth child
(of thirteen) born to David and
Rhoda (Ely) Orr. James served in
the Civil War and was a
First Lieutenant in the 37th
Virginia Infantry Regiment Co.
E. During the war he suffered
an injury to his shoulder, which
resulted in the loss of his arm.
That did not slow James
down after the war was over. He
served one term as a sheriff in
Lee County, was county clerk
in 1871, became a county judge
in 1889, served as a
representative of Lee County in
the
Virginia Assembly for eight
years, (by special appointment)
a county judge of Scott County,
Virginia for two years, and also
representing Lee County in the
Constitutional Convention
for Virginia in 1901. In the
article written on the event of
his death it was said of James,
"He
was one of the best known and
highly respected men in
Southwest Virginia, and his span
of life reached across almost a
century of progress for Lee
County." James also wrote
Recollections of the War between
the States,
which all proceeds were
to go to a
fund to erect
a memorial to the men who fought
and died as Confederates from
Lee County.
