Letha, My mother was a Dorcas from Port Jervis, N.Y. Her father's name was Volney Ellis Dorcas. He was born in Middletown, N.Y. We do not know the date but his mothers name was Elizabeth Ann. He passed away in 1962 or 63. He hads 9 or 10 broghers and sisters. We know very little about the family history, There was a sister who went west however. Do you think there is any connection?
