DORTCH Prior to 1880 Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Disposition: Inline Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit MIME-Version: 1.0 (WebTV) My 2g grandfather, O.C. DORTCH, was b. 30 March 1838 in AR; d. 22 September 1922 in Morrilton, Conway County, AR. O.C. DORTCH's father. per the Certificate of Death, was H.S. DORTCH--informant was W.F. DORTCH (O.C.'s son). I have been able to trace O. C. back to 1880 via U.S. Census. He was listed as living in Pulaski County, AR with : sons Harvey S., William T. ( F.), daughter Mary J., son Joseph M. and mother-in-law Sarah JENKINS. I assume O. C.'s wife (family tradition indicates wife was Philamine JENKINS) was deceased since she was not listed and his mother-in-law was living in same household. I would appreciate help in taking this line back another generation. I have yet to find out who were the parents of O. C. I have found, however an A. C./O.C. b. about the same time with the Signal (Sigual (?)) DORTCH family of Saline/Grant Counties. There was an O. C. DORTCH listed as part of the Company E, 12th Arkansas Infantry and latter in Company I of Cockes Regt. where was listed as a deserter at Bayou Meto. There is an Olsey C. DORTCH who was part of the 4th Arkansas Union Cavalry. Could it be possible the Confederate O. C. DORTCH and the Union Olsey C. DORTCH be one in the same? Can anyone find records for either of the above military units and share with me additional information? I would be very grateful. Rich Borges --WebTV-Mail-22863-7898--
