==Birth, ancestry and family==
Orwig was born near Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania into a faithful Evangelical home. Orwigsburg was named in honor of his great-grandfather Gottfried Orwig, who emigrated from Germany and settled there in 1741. The home of William's grandfather, George Orwig, Sr., was a preaching point where Jacob Albright was often a welcome guest. William's father, Abraham, moved to Union County, northwest of New Berlin, Pennsylvania, in 1811. William's uncle George settled in Sandusky County, Ohio in 1826. William's brother Abraham was a pioneer of the Evangelical Association Church in Bonfield, Illinois.
Orwig was married to Susanna Rishel, who was a brave and gracious helpmate to him. She was the daughter of George and Catharine Rishel, a prominent Evangelical family in Centre County, Pennsylvania. William and Susan's eldest son was the well-known Rev. A.W. Orwig, who died at the advanced age (for the time) of ninety-one. He was a member of the Ohio Conference of the Evangelical Association, and was an editor and author. Among their daughters were Mary (the wife of the Rev. Josiah Bowersox, missionary to Oregon), Susan (the wife of the Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman, and a poet and hymn writer in her own right), Elizabeth (the wife of the Rev. S.L. Wiest), Addie (the wife of Isaac Y. Moyer, a noted Cleveland layman of the Church).
