I think your Rufus might be the James Rufus mentioned here, and possibly the Lizzie might be Eliza Caroline.
Personally, I am related to a John Magers Dorsey, my g-g-g-grandfather, who had a sister Mary Salena.
John Magers's son was Peyton Smith Dorsey my g-g-grandfather.
Peyton Smith's son, Agustus Lee Dorsey, was my g-grandfather.
Agustus Lee was born March 31, 1878, on a farm in the Mossy-Creek area of White County, GA.
In 1898 (or '99) he married Rosaline Crumley, Daughter of Rev. Sydney Crumley, of the Robertstown area of White County.
One of Agustus Lee's sons, Albert H. H. Dorsey, my grandfather, was born in 1918 while Agustus was serving a term as sheriff of White CO.
Agustus Lee passed away on Dec. 10, 1941.
Dr. Albert H. H. Dorsey's son, David Dillard Dorsey, was born April 1, 1954.
In 1976, David Dillard married Mary Catherine Crawford, daughter of Otis and Bobbie Crawford of Greensboro, NC.
David had two sons, James Laurence Dorsey (me) and Bryan Crawford Dorsey. I was born Sept. 26, 1978 and my brother was born May 14, 1983. Neither of us are married.
If this helps, or if you would like more information then let me know.
