Wish I had your eyesight, for the life of me I could not make out Dorcus' age in 1850, and I wonder what they were doing with the Shracks (another eye-burner decipher word) - Dorcus' maiden name? Confusing also is the variation in Dorcus' age from decade to decade = guesswork? two Dorcuses? Boy, isn't genealogy fun! Thanks again, I'm following your arrow to see where it takes me :-)
