He was the son of Rev Alexander Orr, of " Hazelside", Renfrewshire, Scotland, and his wife, Lady Agnes, daughter of Hon John Dalyrymple, Laird of Waterside, and grandson of Rev Alexander Orr, of Burrowfield, Renfrewshire, and ardent covenanter, who suffered martyrdom for his relifious faith, and his wife Lady Barbara Craufurd, of Auchinaines.
