I am researching the descendants of Murt DORSEY 1914-1883) and Catherine MURPHY (1814-1886. Two descendants moved to CERRO GORDO COUNTY, IA:
(1) Murtaugh (a/k/a Murt, Mert or Martin) DORSEY (1856-?) who married Mary Katherine BANKS of Kankakee, IL in 1886 and lived in Owen Two CERRO GORDO COUNTY as "Martin Dorsey" in 1900 per census. His widow was living with Ambrose BANASH in Geneseo Twp in 1920 per census. When did Martin Dorsey die, where is he buried? What became of his children John, Joseph & Leo & daghter Kate?
(2) John Dorsey 1886-1964, a grandson (son of Richard Dorsey (1843-1922) who was born in Will County, IL, moved with father Richard to Osage, Mitchell Co., IA in late 1880s. John married Grace CRIMMINGS or CRIMMINS in Cerro Gordo County, lived in Falls Twp in 1910, afterward in Mason City. Am particularly interested in a date for his marriage, and finding out what became of son John DORSEY (1914-?) who was supposed to have moved to California and to have been killed there in an auto accident)
