When he was fourteen, he went with his parents to Sperry Township, Clayton County, Iowa where his father established a farm near the hamlet of Volga City, Iowa. Orrin had nine brothers and sisters: Elmena (my great grandmother), Robert Lucas, Daniel, Betsy, Juan F., Caroline, Archibald P., John Jay and William Warren. When he was twenty years of age, he was living with the Artumus Hart family and was employed as a helper on his farm. As neighbors, farming nearby was his sister Caroline and husband Joseph Bradshaw, and another sister Elmena and her husband Nehemiah St John. All had farms adjacent to each other. Orrin enlisted in the Sixth Iowa Cavalry, Company C, on September 22, 1862. He was twenty-two and from Volga City, Iowa. He received several promotions, achieving the rank of Fifth Sergeant. He was in General Sully's Expedition who went through the Dakotas quelling the Indian uprisings at the time. He was mustered out October 17, 1865 at Sioux City, Iowa. On September 27, 1866 her married Sylvia Diana King at Volga City, by W. A. Penfield. Diana was the sister of Archibald P. Freeman's wife. Orrin and Diana had six children: Alvin William, Mark Myron, John Justus, Amy Amanda, Stella Wihelmina and Eva Cerena. The U S Census of 1870 records that Orrin was farming in Sperry Township, Clayton County and was thirty years of age. Living at home was Diana (25), Alvin (3) and Mark (2). His brother Archibald and sister Betsy (who had married Homor Butler) had established farms nearby. In April of 1879 the family moved to Mill Creek Township, Washington County, Kansas where they stayed until April of 1889. Deciding to join several other Freemans who had migrated west, he moved his family to the village of Yesler, Washington (now part of the city of Seattle).
