    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.

Griffith-189 and Griffith-2796 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these to be the same person. But I have the death date as September 1, 1794 Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
