Individual Details
Hannah Orr
(Bef 1767 - )
Another interesting thing is that Hannah Orr who married Jacob Dewitt was first married to Price Devore in Nelson, KY. It is not known who Price Devore was. With the name "Price", he was probably a descendant of James Jacobus Devore and Elizabeth Price. He was listed in the Kentucky Census in 1790 in Nelson County and 1792. Nelson, KY is where Zachariah Dewitt was located from the 1780's to about 1805 and "Ben Fouler" was there in 1791. In 1800 Jacob Dewitt was also in Nelson, KY. Listed with him were James and Peter Dewitt. At this time most of the Devores in KY were in Bracken and Mason County. These counties are in the northern section of Kentucky near the Ohio border. But the Fowlers were south of them in Madison, KY until at least 1800, so it's not clear if, when or where they met up to make the crossing into Ohio.
