Excerpt from page 399
NICHOLAS DORSEY OF "LONG REACH"
This son of Colonel Edward married Francis Hughes (of Thomas)
and named his oldest son Thomas Dorsey, who was a partner of
Benjamin Lawrence, of "Delaware Bottom." Benjamin Dorsey
inherited the homestead and Edward the personal estate. His name-
sake, Nicholas, removed to an extensive survey, then in Baltimore
County, but now in Carroll. He there was placed upon the Committee
of Observation for that outpost, and when the war came, he was
advanced from Ensign in Captain Godman's Regulars to Lieutenant
in the Fourth Regiment of the Continental Army, which he held
from April, 1777, to November, 1778. He was promoted to Colonel.
He married Sarah Griffith, oldest daughter of Orlando and Katherine
Howard.
