Family tree▼ (edit)

Facts and Events
By 1841, when the England census was taken, David and Ann Dorman had been married six years and had two young children living at home. David Dorman and Ann Parker were married in the only church in Pickworth, a small rural village in northern Rutland County, England, 8 May 1834. David was an Agriculture Laborer during most of his working life, although listed as a Sheperd in 1861, when he was fifty years old. David and his family lived in a small house in Pickworth, owned by one of the local land owners, in exchange for his hard work. As long as he was able to continue working, he could continue living there. Agriculture Laborers helped with the plowing and planting the fields, scything the hay, tending the livestock, and anything else a landowner needed doing. Ann died 7 May, 1850, at the age of thirty-five, leaving three young children: William age 15, Sarah age 14, and John age 8. David remarried in 1852, to Phoebe Young. In 1870 they said goodbye to John and his family. John, Mary and their daughter, Phoebe, left for the United States. Perhaps it was the plan that David would follow in a couple of years, or maybe he decided in the intervening months, but he, too, immigrated a couple years later with his wife, Phoebe,daughter Sarah and her family and his son, George. David died just a couple years later, in 1874, after getting wet on a cold day. The story handed down through the family was that David and his son, George, were walking home together and on the way had to jump a ditch. David fell in, got wet and continued the walk. He may have gotten pneumonia because he died just a few days later. --Kath newc 17:36, 16 January 2010 (EST) Image Gallery
