TIMOTHY ORNE, son, of Tim. O., (who died in 1767) ; he was a merch., like his father; m. Elizabeth, dau. of Wm. Pynchon. Esq., and, like his father-in-law, is on the list of the loyal addressers of Gov. Gage on his departure. He seems, indeed, to have been with Goodale and Pynchon a temporary sojourner in the Island of Nantucket, while the effervescence of his townsmen lasted ; and at some previous date, to judge from.
