I believe Edward Dorris b.1827 SC & Nancy ? is his father and mother. I need any and all info on this family. James is my GGgrandfather. Thank you! Doug:
There is a James Dorris that is the father of Frances A. J. Dorris b. 1841 in Georgia. The mother's name was Helen E. (maiden name unknown.) Try the Tallapoosa County estate records. Both James and Helen died in Tallapoosa County. Frances Dorris first married Joseph Lyon. He deserted her and put her back on her father. These records are in Tallapoosa Co. Court house. In 1862 she became the 2nd wife of Peterson Gideon Brogdon, my 4th great grandfather. I have the James Dorris papers from Elmore County, AL. Elmore was taken from Tallapoosa Co. when they split in 1866. The court papers gives James & Helen's children as; H. C. Dorris, Eliza Freeman wife of G. W. Freeman, Frances Brogden (my side), E. M. Bullard (a widow), A. C. Little wife of T. C. Little, G. S. Gray wife of James Gray, Delilah Welden wife of J. W. Welden, J. B. Dorris, Sarah I. Dorris. Grandchildren; Margaret D. Dorris, dau of William Dorris deceased, who was the son of James Dorris deceased, and James L. Parker (a minor) and son of Caroline Parker deceased who was a dau of James Dorris deceased. Don't know if this helps, but sure hope it does.
