Research shows that he died in Honey Grove, Texas in 1888. Any information concerning this death would be greatly appreciated as all I have is the year. Thanks so much.

Elizer, daughter of James B and Mary Garrett Elizer. Mary Garrett was a sister to my husband's greatgrandmother, Susan Garrett Ackerman. Fascinating story about Mr. Dorris going to Texas.

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?
