Book excerpt: The Dorris Family Settlements of the Cumberland Valley, 1795-1861 is the second volume in a series, covering the history of the largest Dorris family in the United States from earliest times in Colonial America up to 1860 and the Civil War. The Dorris surname is unusual and found infrequently in the early history of the American colonies and the newly independent United States. The largest concentrations of Dorrises in contemporary times live in the Greater Nashville area and in Southern Illinois in Williamson, Franklin and Saline counties. This is the result of a migration pattern that developed at the end of the American Revolution that brought the whole family of William Dorris the Patriarch to North Carolina and later to the Cumberland settlements of Middle Tennessee. The siren call of the West and the promise of cheap land and adventure encouraged the Dorrises and their kin to move westward. This is a continuing theme underlying the history of the Dorris family in America found in this volume. The Dorrises moved en masse to Middle Tennessee around the time of statehood in 1796. Even though family members continued the trek westward from the Cumberland settlements, a large number of Dorrises and kin remained behind, making the Cumberland Valley the cradle of the Dorris family in the United States. This volume chronicles the experiences of the Dorrises and Dorris kin who settled along the Cumberland River in Middle Tennessee from statehood to the Civil War. We also examine the dispersion of the Dorris clan to other points in Tennessee as "land fever" gripped the early family members, leading to a westward migration into the old hunting grounds of the Chickasaw peoples.
