DORRIS J. Scott Dorris
Feb 1 1997
I am looking for additional information regarding James DORRIS
and -his son- Jasper Newton DORRIS. Jasper served in the Confederate
army during the Civil War (Company A, 22nd Regiment Georgia Volunteer
Infantry). Jasper is my great grandfather. All leads are greatly
appreciated.
The following is excerpts from: The Dorris Family: Pioneers
of Milton County (by Caroline Dillman from "The Alpharetta
Revue")
"James DORRIS owned hundreds of acres of land in the Crabapple
area and ran a store there. The customers who patronized his
store included indians as well as whites. A list of persons who
bought from and traded with James DORRIS from 1835 to 1844 is
included here. James DORRIS was born in 1801 and died in 1877.
He married Nancy COOK, an indian, who was born in 1799 and died
in 1887. James DORRIS was born in Abbeyville, South Carolina;
later resided in Augusta, Georgia and in Jefferson Jackson County,
Georgia; and eventually moved to what was originally Cherokee
County but became a part of Milton County and is now part of
Fulton County. His father, also James DORRIS (probably Sr.) was
originally from Holland and had two brothers, William and John.
There seems to be no record of William's descendants, and most
of John's decendants settled in Douglas County, Georgia. The
younger James DORRIS, who had the store, was the father of eight
children, four of whom died young and four lived to have children
of their own. These latter four were W.C. DORRIS, who married
Mary GALEHAUGH; Permelia DORRIS, who married W.D. RUKER; Elizabeth
DORRIS who married N.W.H. COOK; and J. Newton DORRIS, who married
Fannie GILLISPIE."
