Actually, I didn't know there was an Erastus Jr? I spent some time a few years ago looking into the Texas branch, but got discouraged and since it's not my direct line, put it on the back burner. Part of my line went to Texas too -- William E. Dorris, MD. -- he & his family were in the Tarrant Co area. He was a son of James Dorris who was brother to Bennett Dorris. Thank you for your info -- I'll go look at the obit now -- give me a few days to pull out Dorris info -- I've got file folders filled!!! -- Sherry P.S. I do have the Civil War info on Erastus Sr -- need to get that stuff out and refresh my memory on that branch of the family. I couldn't find any of them in TX in 1870, did find John Johnson later -- probably 1880, need to check that out too, he was living with a couple of his sisters & some little kids. Erastus Sr. was living with a dau when he died -- accdg to the C.W. pension file.
