DILLARD/LEE lines. Rabun County Library has our Dillard
information. The annual Dillard Reunion is in town of Dillard. I
am looking for anything on Elijah LEE probable father of Rhoda LEE
that married John DILLARD, Jr. The last information I have on them
is that they were probably married about 1800 Buncombe Co., NC. I
am looking into the old records of Buncombe Co, NC; Walton Co, GA
1803-10; and what is now Rabun Co, GA. I have been out of touch
with all my DILLARD/LEE contacts for the last 6 years, as I slowly
rebuilt my genealogy files after the destruction of Hurricane
Anderw. Is there a DILLARD/LEE contact associated with the Rabun
Library? Any contact is appreciated.
DORSEY
Submitted 11 Aug 1998 by Nancy
Custer
I left this query about a year ago but the original e-mail address
is now defunct. If you have tried to respond, please try again--I
am reposting with my new address. In the early eighteen hundreds,
a large group of DORSEY's moved to northeast Georgia from around
Burke and Lincoln Counties, NC. Apparently they got lucky in the
Cherokee Land Lottery. In 1860, my great-great grandfather, E. H.
DORSEY was living in Walhalla, SC with his wife Louisa
(BOUKNIGHTT) and son John A. According to family lore, E. H. got
into some kind of trouble (possibly relating to the Civil War) and
ran away and hid out with some of the DORSEY's in NE Georgia.
Eventualy he moved on to Cumberland County, Tennessee where he
lived out his life under the name HARVEY KELLEY. I have not been
able to determine who E. H. DORSEY's parents were although I have
several candidates. I think his grandparents were ELIJAH and
DELILAH ASHE DORSEY from Burke County, NC who may have ended up in
the Georgia, SC area also. I am hoping that someone may be able to
help me tie E. H. DORSEY into the DORSEY family tree.
