American biography: a new cyclopedia, Volume 6 edited by William Richard Cutter page 232
(II) Samuel (2) Dorrance, son of Rev. Samuel (1) and Elizabeth (Smith) Dorrance, was born October 10, 1740. At the outbreak of the American Revolution he was a resident at Scituate, Rhode Island, where he held the office of justice of the peace. From a letter written to his wife, dated Warwick, March 14, 1777, it is evident that he was clerk of Captain John Edwards' Alarm Company, stationed at W. D. Warner's. After the war he was one of a company of pioneers that went to the frontier settlement at Marietta, Ohio, under General Putnam, was assigned land there, and returned to the East for his family, where he died. A letter to his wife, Ann (Tully) Dorrance, of Saybrook, Connecticut, from there under date of August 17, 1788, has been preserved. In it he recounts the varied experience of the journey and writes a most alluring description of the attractions and advantages offered by the new country. He says: "I shall be in a hurry to get home and settle my affairs, in order to move in the spring, for I think we may live here in safety in the pleasantest place in the world."
He returned to Saybrook, Connecticut, within a year, leaving his son William in charge of his property in Ohio. The son lost his life mysteriously, and the father never returned to the West. Samuel Dorrance died August 2, 1812, aged seventytwo years, according to the inscription on his tombstone in the family burying ground at Coventry. His widow paid taxes on 1173 I_3 acres of land in Washington, Hocking and Gallis counties, Ohio, until her death, which occurred July 1, 1832. On
November 15, 1773, Samuel Dorrance married Ann Tully. Their daughter, Elizabeth or Eliza, was one of the twins born August 15, 1790. She married, December 26, 1811, James (2) Bugbee, and died August 15, 1879 (see Bugbee VI).
