I was interested in researching your query because I descend from an earlier union of ROARK and DORRIS and thought your James Allen ROARK, who you say married Ellie DORRIS in 1888, might also be a descendant. I hope you have a few more pieces of the puzzle.
Could you give the source for your information about the 1888 marriage? I haven't been able to find the marriage on my own. (I did find A. J. ROARCK's marriage to Julia A. DUNHAM and her later marriage to Robert G. HOLMES.)
Can you provide the text of the obituary of James Allen ROARK's mother or, if it is online, a website URL? It would be helpful to see the part about her survivors, as well as the year and place of her death.
One last request: Could you give the names of any children born to James Allen ROARK? They, or even one name, would be helpful in a census search. I have found something in the census, but without the information requested above I can't tell whether it is the right track to follow.
