I think I have posted everything I've collected on Joseph Sr.Not much is found on him in SC.Except a few deed beginning in 1780 wherein he deeds his lands to his older sons, James and Thomas, later to his younger sons, John and Elijah.Joseph Jr. witnessed the deed of land to John and Elijah.When James and Thomas sold the land deeded to them by their father the deed to do so was headed as:James, Thomas and Joseph Dorsett sell to......I think the person recording the deed of gift omitted Joseph Jr.'s name from the original, and the other two brothers rectified the error by including him when they sold.
Joseph Sr. was listed with his son Elijah on the 1810 census in Pendleton District of SC., but was living with John on the 1820 census in GA.He passed away before the 1830 census.
A correct list of his daughters has not been proven.How do you know that William Deaton's wife's surname was Dorsett/Dossett?
