follow the links for fathers backwards on this--it is a well-known Usher line--in fact, mine too, from a certain point backwards. There is a lot of information on the Linn Co. Iowa Ushers.

A number of Ushers married Burts; this was the case for Harvey Usher, too--your Dora Ushers' mother was Matilda Burt.

Well, this is a start! You can follow Collins Cleveland Usher's line, and Aaron's, online without too much trouble, I think.
Good luck!
