Jorge Loring y Oyarzábal, 1st Marquis of Casa Loring was a Spanish noble, politician and businessman of the 19th century. His grandson Jorge Loring Martinez created the company Talleres Loring, an aircraft manufacturer that produced important aircraft such as the Loring R-1, the Loring R-2 or the Loring R-3.
Born August 20, 1822 in Málaga, Spain, Jorge was the son of George Loring of Hingham, Massachusetts, and Maria Del Rosario Oyarzabal, of Cadiz. He was a fourth great grandson of New England immigrant Deacon Thomas Loring.
Like his brothers, he was educated in the United States, where he studied engineering at Harvard. He held citizenship in the United States and in Spain.
In 1850 he married Amalia Heredia Livermore of Málaga, herself a daughter of Manuel Heredia and Isabel Livermore. She was "an educated and intelligent woman" raised with an education "typical of the bourgeoisie of the time: refined, strong belief in Catholicism, foreign travel and a flair for fine arts."
They had eight children, five of whom became or married Spanish nobility. A grandson, Jorge Loring Martinez, excelled as an aviation entrepreneur and inventor. A great grandson, Jorge Loring Miró SJ, is a widely published Spanish Jesuit priest.
