Surnames: Dorsey, Ebert Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CFB.2ACI/592.1.1 Message Board Post: Marilyn, Many thanks for the information. Yes, this is the William Dorsey I've been looking for. I have Fannie Ebert Dorsey's obituary and the information there ties in with what you have given to me. In addition to daughter Frances, they had a daughter Imogene who graduated in 1893 from the Peabody Conservatory and later went on to be an instructor. Fannie Ebert Dorsey's father was a former mayor of Frederick, MD, and according to an article in a 1938 Frederick paper, he was detained by Union troops on their way through Frederick going toward Gettysburg. Her father was also a nephew of Barbara Fritchie and was called on to give testimony about Mrs. Fritchie's physical condition at the time she was supposed to have waved the flag in Stonewall Jackson's face. I have been trying to establish a connection between Captain Dorsey and Lt. Joshua Randolph Crown and I believe that Capt. Dorsey also served in the 35th VA Cavalry.
