When I began researching this for my father, I looked on the internet for descendants of William Dorris.On page 2 of 102 it shows that Joseph was born in 1741 in County Down, Ireland and died 1825 near Cooperstown, TN.he married Mary Griffin first in 1773 in Dorchester, MD.You may be able to contact the library there for marriage records which I have yet to do because I work 2 full time jobs as a Registered Nurse.That gives me very little free time to work on this but I promised my father I would try to do all I can.He has worked on his geneology for as long as I can remember.It shows that he married Katherine McDaniel in 1778 in Orange Co., NC.According to my records Joseph and mary Griffin had the children John Irwin b.1773 d.1822; William b. 1775 d. 1834; Thomas b.1780 d.1847Joseph and Katherine McDaniel had Stephen C. B. 1792, d. January 25,1840; James S. Dorris b. 1795; McDaniel Dorris b.1797 d. after 1870; Samuel d. 1809 in TN. Benjamin d. 1815 in TN; Isaac b. 1813, d.1816 in Louisiana; Elizabeth married a Dr. Jones but gives no birth or death dates.The homepage of this is http://personalweb.edge.net/~jwbrown/Familys/Dorris.htmlhttp://personalweb.edge.net/~jwbrown/Familys/Dorris.htmlHope this helps
