George Black in Surnames of Scotland relates that Hugh de Hur was a member of an assize court in 1289, he, or another Hugh de Hur was a juror on the enquiry about the privileges claimed by Robert de Brus, Earl of Carrick in 1304. Hugh del Urre was a signatory to the Ragmans Rolls ( swearing allegience to Edward I) in 1296. The barony of Urr existed from at least 1280 and follows the valley of River Urr from Loch Urr/Orr some twelve miles inland where there was once a castle. It is believed that the Orr name is derived from Hugh. Around 1300 the lands of Urr changed hands when Edward I (the Hammer of the Scots) ravaged the land which is consistent with the family reappearing in the Lochwinnoch area ca 1300 where they have been ever since. Andrew Crawford, author of The Cairn of Lochwinnoch ca 1836 records that the Orrs had had charters [from the Abbott of Paisley ] `from five hundred years.` The first Orrs in Ulster were James Orr and wife Margaret McClement who went from Beith, next door to Lochwinnoch, to the Ards ca 1607 with the Montgomery Settlement ( Their lineage is in the Ulster Pedigree ca 1830 by Gowan Orr). Their sons were James and Patrick. James stayed in the North Down area around Comber; Patricks line moved on into Armagh and to Londonderry. Regrettably Gowan Orr did not include Patrick`s details in his genealogy. The Orrs are a recognised sept of Clan Campbell. Recent DNA tests by male Orrs indicates that, like many west coast Scots, they stem from Somerled and the Vikings who roamed the region and the Solway Firth , further supporting the claimed origins in South West Scotland.
A one name study; Brian Orr

There is a tradition in the family that the original name was McLean, and that in the troublous times in the beginning of the 17th century, two brothers to avoid persecution swam the river 'Orr' or 'Our' in Wigtownshire (Scotland} and saved their lives that way. They crossed in an
open boat from Portpatrick to Donaghadee, and in thankfulness for their escape they took the name 'Orr' by which their descendants have been since known. One of the brothers, James Orr, settled at Ballyblack, to the south of Newtownards. He was interred in Movilla graveyard Newtownards, in the year 1627, Janet McClements, his wife, died in 1636..... Soon after the
death of James Orr the family removed to Ballybeen, near Comber.'
