William Orr (United Irishman)
William Orr (1766–1797) was a member of the United Irishmen who was executed in 1797 in what was widely believed at the time to be "judicial murder" and whose memory led to the rallying cry “''Remember Orr''” during the 1798 rebellion.〔Speeches From the Dock, or Protests of Irish Patriotism, by Seán Ua Cellaigh, Dublin, 1953〕
==Background==
Little is known of his early life. Orr was born to a Presbyterian farming family and bleach-green proprietor, of Ferranshane outside Antrim town. The family were in comfortable circumstances, and William Orr as a result received a good education. His appearance and manner were at the time considered noteworthy, he stood six feet two inches in height, and was always carefully and respectably dressed, a familiar feature in his apparel being a green necktie, which he wore "even in his last confinement." His popularity amongst his countrymen is also noted, particularly among the Northern Presbyterian patriots. He was to become active in the Irish Volunteers and then joined the United Irishmen.〔
Sometime in the mid-1790s, he contributed several articles to their newspaper, the ''Northern Star''.
