" 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)

      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.
