On 20 July 1795 in what was described as a cloudburst, John Orr was drowned as he attempted to ford Cub Run on his horse and he was buried on his property. In the mid 1970s, family members were instrumental in effecting the removal of John Orr’s gravestone and that of his daughter Jane Maria to the cemetery at Saint John’s Episcopal Church where they stand today.
All eight of the children were born in Loudoun County (now Fairfax County), VA.
