Research Notes

The Dorsey Family by Maxwell J Dorsey, Jean Muir Dorsey and Nannie Ball Nimmo, 1947, p 145. Genealogy and History of These Families: William Cumming, Dorsey, Black, Weisel by Edith L Burrell, Findlay OH.

The question of whether Edward Dorsey's wife Deborah was in fact Deborah Maccubbin, daughter of Zachariah, seems to me to have been settled. The evidence in Dorsey-Nimmo is lacking. A nephew of this Edward married a different Deborah Maccubbin; early family historians assigned that marriage record to this man, although it took place years after this couple married and had children.

Ancestry.com: 1798: Mrs. Ann MACCUBIN made her will. Named her stepson Zachariah MACCUBIN, stepdaughter Deborah DORSEY, and stepdaughter Mary DORSEY; her husband Zachariah MACCUBIN. This is probably the wife of Zachariah Maccubbin, as follows:
