John,
Hi, thanks for inquiring.Anything is possible, of course, but it doesn't look like your John Henry was a brother of my great grandfather, Lewis. I do believe Lewis had a brother, John, but he was born in Germany ca 1826.
Since I posted the original message I've learned Lewis's parents were Henry Dorr and Maria Elizabetha (--?--), both of Germany.Lewis's siblings that I've uncovered so far are:John b. ca 1826 in Germany; Henry b. 1836 NYC; Elizabeth b. 1838 NYC; Charles b. 1842 NYC, and Paul b . 1844 NYC, all of whom were Maria's children.Additional siblings by Henry's second wife Rosina Ernst were Wilhelmina b 1862 NYC; Christian b. 1864 NYC and Elizabeth b. 1866 NYC.Just to be sure, I checked the 1860 census enumeration for Henry Dorr's household and there was no child, John, aged around 10 in his household.
Sorry,
Georgi
