Levin Powell, Jr.

Levin Powell Jr., third son of Colonel Levin and Sally (Harrison) Powell, married in 1797, Susannah Elizabeth Orr, daughter of Hon. John Orr, a member of the Virginia Assembly, and a signer of Richard Henry Lee's resolutions against the Stamp Act in 1766, and his wife Susannah Monroe Grayson, a first cousin to James Monroe, fifth President of the United States, and a sister to Rev. Spence Grayson, of Bellair, and Colonel William Grayson, aide de campe of General Washington, and later one of the first two Senators from Virginia under the new Federal Government. John Orr had come to Virginia in 1750. He was a son of Rev. Alexander Orr, of "Hazelside", Renfrewshire, Scotland, and his wife, Lady Agnes, daughter of Hon. John Dalrymple, Laird of Waterside; and grandson of Rev. Alexander Orr, of Burrowfield, Renfrewshire, an ardent covenanter, who suffered martyrdom for his religious faith, and his wife Lady Barbara Craufurd, of Auchinaines. The Orrs were an ancient family of Renfrewshire, dating back to 1100 A. D., and the Craufurd family was indeed one of the most ancient and highly connected families of the realm, being descended within four generations from King James IV, of Scotland, through at least a dozen separate lines, notably those of Stewart, Eglington, Seton, Lamont, and others (vide. "A Few Old Families" McCall, Glasgow). "General account of Shire of Renfrew," Craufurd and Seton, Glasgow, 1792.

Levin Powell, Jr., died in Kentucky in 1807, leaving four sons.
