My 5th great grandfather was Joseph William Dorris.
He was b. 1741 at Ulster County Down Ireland. He d. 1825 at Cooperstown, Robertson Co, Tennessee. He had a large family.I am related through one of his daughters, Sarah
who married Dr. John Conger and moved to Missouri. Their son was named Stephen Dorris Conger as were several others in later generations.
I would suspect that the names you referred to were given to some of his descendants.
