Notes for Edward Dorr: From: http://babbage.clarku.edu/~djoyce/gen/report/rr01/rr01_474.html#P21144
Edward Dorr of Roxbury, Mass., the emigrant ancestor of the family.
When the Colony of Massachusetts Bay organized the county of Devon at Pemaquid, near the mouth of the Kennebec in Maine, Edward Dorr was there, and with other inhabitants took the oath of fidelity on the 22d July, 1674.
He subsequently removed to Roxbury; perhaps on account of King Philip's war, which broke out in 1675, placing that remote settlement in great peril.
Mr. Dorr became prominent in the civil and ecclesiastical affairs of Roxbury. He was one of the selectmen, and held other offices of importance and trust. He died in 1734, leaving a good estate. He was interred in the old burial ground in Roxbury, and his tombstone and that of his wife are [1874] in perfect preservation. The inscriptions upon them are as follows: "'Here lies buried ye body of Mr. Edward Dorr. He died February 9 the, 1733-4, in ye 86th year of his age' "'Here lyes ye body of Elizabeth Dorr, wife to Edward Dorr, aged 63 years. Deet December ye 7th, 1719"
