He returned to his home in Gallatin, Sumner, Tennessee and established a very successful lumber and flour milling enterprise. He was born in 1827, his father was Josiah Frost Dorris; his wife was Mary Elizer. Does anyone have any historical records of Honey Grove during that period to source his presence there during that period. I wonder why he would ride a mule that far to learn a trade?
