Louis Adolphe Dorr
By James A. Strain,
Louis Dorr, my GGGgrandfather, was one of the last immigrant ancestors in my family tree, arriving from France in 1840. While on the ship from France, Louis apparently met his future wife, Frances Benal, and upon their arrival in the United States, married her at Mobile, AL.
Louis Dorr and Frances Benal are the parents of:
Norman Franklin Dorr m. Josephine Bishop
Louis left a remarkable legacy of his life due to the existence of several years of letters which he copied in a notebook. Mostly written in French, they have been translated and converted to a digital text format by my aunt and cousins.
Due to the wide interest of the many descendants of Louis Dorr in his life, and the strong family clan that mostly remained in Panola Co., MS, many stories, photos, a timeline, and factual documents have been assimilated into a website on Louis Dorr and his descendants by Ed Dorr.
Please visit his site, which I contributed to, and come back here if you have any questions! My sincere thanks goes out to all who have helped Ed by contributing to his website, as well as to Ed for maintaining it.
