Dear Ann:
I have been going over my information on the Dorsey Family in Kaufman County, Texas.I have also talked to a cousin, Tim Dorsey, who wrote a article on the Dorsey's for the History of Kaufman County Book.
My Great Grandfather was Columbus W. Dorsey and his father was William J. Dorsey who married Agatha Clayton. Columbus married Mary Nancy Wilks who died shortly after giving birth to Mary Lucille. My grandmother Dovie Lorene Dorsey was the first of the 5 children. Columbus and Mary Wilks'sChildren are Dovie Lorene (my grandmother), Olemphis (died when she was about 13, I believe), Matthew Ethridge (and I know all of his children and some of his grandchildren), Ida Pearl, and Mary Lucille (who became like a grandmother to me).I believe Ida Pearl married a Meador.
Who was your parents?If Columbus was your great grand father we are second cousins.I have met some of the Medors but I do not really remember them will.
I am interested in the information you have on William J. Dorsey's parents and his brothers and sisters.I have made several stupid statements about a man named Columbus Dorsey which may have been William J.'s brother.The Lewis Dorsey you mentioned as William J.'s father is a real break thru for me.This will get me back to South Carolina.
Waiting to see your posting in response to this message.
