Dear Susan Hanna:
I have just come across your posting. My mother is a Dorsey and my grandparents were from the Oak Hill-Mt. Hope, WV area. She had no idea of her lineage further than her grandfather Benj. Franklin Dorsey of Clay Co., WV. Using the internet and census records I found that his father was Franklin M. Dorsey who was the son of Samuel Dorsey and Nancy Nutter Dorsey of Nicholas Co., WV. Thus, we are distant cousins. I did not know Franklin M. Dorsey's date of death or that it was a sawmill accident. I would appreciate any info you have on him and his family.
Like you I am stuck at John and Airy Dorsey. From the Morman site I do have that John and Airy married 28 Sept., 1791 in Baltimore, Md. John Dorsey was born circa 1760 in Baltimore Co., Md and his bride Arah(Airy) Agnes Stockdale was born in Baltimore Co., Md. and both died in Nicholas Co., WV. I am sure that John Dorsey is tied into the Anne Arundal Co., Md. Dorseys but do not have the specifics. Ironically, this family was descended from Edward Dorsey who first lived in Norfolk Co., Va.(now the City of Chesapeake, Va.) where I live.
Please write me with any info on Franklin M. and Benj. Franklin Dorseys of Clay-Nicholas Co., WV.
Thanks! Gene Shannon 809 Spruce Forest Ct. Chesapeake, VA 23322

1st E-Mail: Date: 31 May 2004 11:27:27 AM Pacific Daylight Time
I read your findings with great interest.
Wiley and Hannah (Coletrane) SARRETT were my Xgrandparents.
We have two books written by our family members with several stories about Grandpa Wiley SARRETT. He died in his 90's [c1902] with a full set of perfect teeth.
He is buried in out family (Dorsey) graveyard in Lizemore, [Clay Co.] West Virginia. I'll double check this with the family today.
One of our "Authors" is still living. The book he helped with was compiled in the 1930's and published in 1963. I don't think anyone has copies except family. The other book has a copy to lend and is at Southern State Community College in Ohio.
I wish I could give you the link but I just deleted it when I cleaned up the computer....I located it by search so my sister could check it out. "Tales of the West Virginia Hills" by Charles V. Dorsey.
There is a family web site where I have tried to stir some interest in finding out if we were related to Mary (Jenkins) Surratt.......... the Dorsey family is also related to Abe Lincoln. Ironic, if we are also related to Mary. So far I've been talking to the wall. Maybe your site will stir things up.
Relationship: Wiley Surratt/Hannah Coletrane, children:
1. Austin
2. Ben
3. Adeline Surratt married Franklin Dorsey
Basically how the Dorsey's tie into this.....We share a grandfather Dorsey with Abe Lincoln (Michael Dorsey married a Todd)
Our family books state that Wiley and Hannah came into western Virginia from old Virginia before the war.
It was Nicholas County, then, but after the war Nicholas County got carved up. Lizemore is in Clay County West Virginia.
Again, Thanks for your web site
Sincerely CL Dorsey, E-Mail: [email protected]

Hey Paul, just a note to let you know my "new" e-mail address. Seems 2004 has been a million years ago now. I hope to get back to digging one of theses days.
My mother came down with alzheimer's and I had to move everyone a 1000 miles for what turned out not a good reason..
Anyway....here is something that came my way and I have not even had time to think on it enough to see if it is feasible.
Back in 2004 the Surratt Museum put Wiley "AND" Hannah SARRETT on their web site as the missing brother. Which would make Mary (Jenkins) Surratt our Great Aunt. In 2009 it had been removed. I sent an e-mail and the guy said it was never there. Hum!
I'm a paper freak so when I get time I'm going through my box of papers and I'll bet I find it. Anyway, he did acknowledge that this line needed more research. He also said someone out in California was working on it. I'll try a cut and paste of his e-mail.
Take care and good luck to you. E-Mail: [email protected] <--New Address!

Subject: [Lawson List] Benjamin Lawson
Things sound familiar with your family and mine. I have a copy of Benjamin Franklin Lawson b. 3-28-1831 and Mary Elizabeth Ross Lawson b. 1-4-1835. Families came from Highland Co., Va. Calhoun Co., WV and Harrison Co., WV and also mentions just Va. (no county). States in this Bible that Benjamin's father was Alexander Lawson and mother Mary (?) Lawson, both born around 1801. My G Grandmother was Alice Florence Lawson that married a Jeffries. They lived in Gilmer Co., WV, Harrison Co., WV. and Weston, Lewis Co., WV.
The other thing that sounded familiar was the Surratt name. When my Grandmother passed away, my family received alot of pictures. In these picture were 2 Surratt boys that lived next to my Grandparents Alice Florence Lawson Jeffries. Did any of the Surratts in your family live near Murphys Creek in Weston , Lewis Co., WV?
I could send you a picture of the 2 Surratt boys. My mother remembers them. Picture taken around 1924. Let me know.

Hello Again,
After checking records I found a marriage record for John H. Surrat and Janetta Cantley in Raleigh County WV on Feb. 4, 1868.
That would have made Nettie, born Sept. 14, 1853, 15 years old rather than 14 when she married.

Subj: Duke Mont Sarrett Hello Paul,
I logged onto the site concerning Duke Mont Sarrett yesterday and was very happy to find it as I am a direct decendant of his.
My name is David Wills and I currently live in Quincy, Mass. but I was born and raised in Arnett, WVa where my family still lives. I grew up hearing about the Duke and I managed to obtain bits of information over the years, some of which I hope may be of use to you.
I would like to tell you the burial location of John Tinsley and Nancy (Combs) Sarrett, they are in the Sarrett-Wills cemetary in Arnett (Marsh Fork district) West Virginia.
John T. and Nancy's son Van SARRETT married Wm. Baxter Honaker's sister (?) [Laura Josephine HONAKER, FG 415] and John T. and Nancy's daughter (?) [Viola Frances SARRETT, FG 438] married Wm. "Baxter" Honaker.
Van's son [Malona Roy SARRETT, FG 416] married Baxter's daughter [Flora B. HONAKER] and their union (though double first cousins) resulted in a son named Loney. [1904-1960] His daughter Elsie Mae SARRETT married Tom Wills
and they had my father Joe Roy Wills (still living in Arnett).

I am at work right now and do not have all of the names and dates with me but I can provide them to you if you wish.
I hope to hear back from you.
E-mail me at [email protected] or [email protected] or call me at 617-472-4983. Do not worry about the time difference, I don't go to bed till 11PM anyway.
Sincerely David G. Wills

Paul,
Sorry I for not responding sooner. Long hours at work. Let me give you my lineage. You probably know most of this already, but William Baxter Honaker and Viola F Sarrett had several children. One was Minnie Honaker (My Great Grandmother who I met once in 1963). She married David Willoby Miller of Crab Orchard, Raleigh County Virginia (Near Beckley). They had a daughter Edith Florence Miller (My grandmother who died before I was born) who married Robert Dickenson Wood. They had a son named Robert Dickenson Wood, Jr. (My father).
I went to your website, which I already had bookmarked. I looked through the John T Sarrett lineage and saw some unkown areas. Let me tell you what I remember. As you know, John T. lived in Arnett, WV. So did Baxter (as he went by) Honaker. I was at that Honaker home in Arnett in the early 70s. It was still owned by Honaker descendents, and I suspect still is.
I asked the question about the burial place of John T. and the Honaker that lived there told me that he was buried in the Arnett area, but houses were now built on top of the cemetery. Seemed a little strange to me, but who knows.
Maybe the laws weren't as strict back there and back then. I live in the Northern Virginia are near Washington D.C. and would like to get back there in the near future to do some more research. From which line do you descend? Bob, [email protected]
Bob,
We would like to exchange info on this family.
