    • Linda Davenport writes that "My Lucinda Reeves and James H. Dorsey (son of Alexander & Patsey) married before 23 Dec 1842 by W. McCann, Minister of the Gospel in Talladega Co, AL. Lucinda's sister, Mary Reeves, married James H. Dorsey, Jr. (son of James H. Dorsey, Sr. & Unknown) on the same date by the same person. The marriage licenses were returned on 23 Dec 1842. Supposedly, while in Alabama, Lucinda was pregnant, helped push a cow out of the mud & went into labor and died. I'm not certain what happened to the child, but James H. Dorsey, widower, was in Sabine County by 1860. All according to Blanche Finley Toole."
