 [p.496]was further required carefully to enroll the men and arms in a book, to be consulted
 when troops might be needed for active service. From this statement of the author it is evident
 that a large number of settlers had come with Sir Hugh Montgomery to the Ards during the first
 four years of his colonization. It is to be regretted that no list of these original settlers can now be
 found. Among them were several named Orr, who appear to have originally settled in the
 townlands of BalIyblack and Ballykeel, and were the progenitors of a very numerous connection
 of this surname throughout the Ards. The earliest recorded deaths in this connection, after their
 settlement in the Ards, were those of James Orr of Ballyblack, who died in the year 1627, and
 Janet McClement, his wife, who died in 1636. The descendants, male and female, of this worthy
 couple were very numerous, and as their intermarriages have been carefully recorded, we have
 thus fortunately a sort of index to the names of many other families of Scottish settlers in the Ards
 and Castlereagh. Their descendants in the male line intermarried with the families of Dunlop,
 Gray, Kennedy, Coulter, Todd, M'Birney, M'Cullough, Campbell, Boyd, Jackson, Walker,
 Rodgers, Stevenson, Malcomson, King, Ferguson, M'Quoid, Cregg, Bart, M'Munn, Bryson,
 Johnson, Smith, Carson, M'Kinstry, Busby, M'Kce, Shannon, M'Garock, Hamilton, Cally,

 Moorehead, M'Caw, Clark, Patterson, Neilson, Maxwell, Harris, Corbet, Milling, Carr, Winter,
 Patty, Cumming, M'Connell, M'Gowan. Nearly an equal number of Orrs married wives of their
 own surname. These numerous descendants, bearing the surname of Orr, resided in Ballyblack,
 Clontinacally, Killinether, Ballygowan, Ballykeel, MunIough, Bally-been, Castleaverie, Conlig,
 Lisleen, Bangor, Gortgrib, Granshaw, Killaghey, Gilna-hirk, Ballyalloly, Ballyknockan,

 Magherascouse, Castlereagh, Bootin, Lisdoonan, Greyabbey, Ballyrea, Ballyhay, Ballywilliam,
 Saintfield, Ballymacarrett, Craigantlet, Braniel. The greatest number of the name lived in
 Ballykeel, Clontinacally, and Ballygowan. The descendants in the female line from James Orr
 and Janet M'Clement of Ballyblack inter-married with the families of Riddle of Comber,
 Thomson of Newtownards, Moore of Drum-mon, Orr of Lisleen, Orr of Ballykeel, Murdock of
 Comber, Irvine of Crossnacreevy, M'Creary of Bangor, Hanna of Conlig, Orr of Bangor, Orr of
