Good afternoon. I am trying to find more information on the family of Elijah Dorsey. He is listed in the 1840 & 1850 (Freedom District) census. The 1850 record states that he was born in PA. The 1850 census shows:

Elijah Dorsey age 48 born PA
Ann age 47 born MD
Andrew J age 17 born MD
Ruth (?) A age 13 born MD
Catharine age 10 born MD
George T W age 6 born MD
Winfield S age 2 born MD

Elijah died before 1860 - census records show Ann in her daughter Catharine's household (Catharine's husband is listed as John Berry - a hotel keeper).

Andrew J Dorsey is nowhere to be found until the 1880 census in Montgomery County and disappears again after that. His wife is shown as Martha E (maiden name unknown).

I am interested in any information anyone may have on Elijah & Ann's parents and siblings. Also, any information on their children, specifically Andrew J and his wife.

Thank you for your help.
