Dorcas; rather a strange handle don't you agree ? I have a quite extensive history of the Bessey family and this is the only Dorcas i have uncovered.Dorcas was born between 1641-1644 to Anthony Bessey and Jane Bessey (Nee Jane Bene Anable she died in 1679. She married John Pilsbury in 1664.and had three children. John and several others were the original owners of most of the real estate on Martha's Vineyard. Also of interest are some court appearances by Dorcas, one involving the instance where her and her sisters beat the crap out of their stepfather George Barlow
Note i have extensive info onseveral branches of the Bessey family i would be happy to share (My Mother was a Bessey) please contact me via E-Mail and perhaps we can exchange some sstuff Lou Lawrence
