Looking for information about John Dorcas, b. 1792 Scotland, d. 1879 Ohio. He was a United Brethren minister, and is known to have lived in York County, PA, Frederick County, MD, and Richland and Franklin counties in Ohio. He may have served in the MD militia during the War of 1812. He married Elizabeth Unknown, b. abt. 1793 in PA. His known children were Andrew b. 1816, Elizabeth b. abt 1818, Jesse b. 1810, and John II b. 1822. He may also have had a daughter Mary b. abt. 1815 in Virginia and other older siblings. I am particularly interested in finding information about any older siblings perhaps born in Maryland or Virgina.

Thanks.

Very interested in family stories on this interesting man named Lewis Benjamin DORCAS. He was born in 1867 in New York, of African descent, in 1891 he marrried Mary E. HEDRICK at Harman, early I think in this area for an inter racial marriage. Probably because he was one of the smartest men around! They had the following children: Frederick D., Hubert & Hubbert, Lewis B., by 1886 Lewis was a Roalsburg WV barber, in 1887 he was the first colored juror to serve in Tucker County, highly educated, one of finest pen men in the state, first barber on Dry Fork at Horton, resided St. George, Tucker County. The source is http://pioneerindex.com/query110307.html for specifics on the references. Would like to delve into his story more, assistance requested. Thankyou.

I have a Judith Dorcus that married a John Wamsley. However my Judith was born approximately 1730. Her father is Matthew but he would have had to been born earlier than 1725. My Dorcus family is in Cecil Co. Maryland.

Simon Dorcas did not come from PA. He was born in Georgia before the Civil War. His mother's family owned a plantation with slaves. His mother made him work alongside the slaves and he objected and ran away when he was 10 or 11. Census records show his birth year between 1847-1850, so he may have run away to join the army...don't know which side! Plantation was rumored to have been in DeKalb County GA...still researching that area. Census also states Simon's father born in Wales and mother born in Georgia. No clue as to mother's maiden name. His wife Laura Wanamaker was born in PA, they were divorced as some point after Charles Edgar Dorcas was born, and she remarried a Magee. .

Letha, My mother was a Dorcas from Port Jervis, N.Y. Her father's name was Volney Ellis Dorcas. He was born in Middletown, N.Y. We do not know the date but his mothers name was Elizabeth Ann. He passed away in 1962 or 63. He hads 9 or 10 broghers and sisters. We know very little about the family history, There was a sister who went west however. Do you think there is any connection?
