Hi, I am researching my Dorris line and we, too, pronounce it DOORis. I don't have much information on my GGgrandpa Thomas L. DORRIS. He is one of my brick walls. I met him in CA, he was he moved there from somewhere in the MO, OK, KS area. He was in his 90's back then in 1958, and died not too soon after. I need a couple of chisels to attack this brick wall.
