Illegitimate daughter of:
Rachel (Starks?) Trammell who was the widow of James Trammell.

Dorcus was born over a year after the death of her mother's husband, and family story has it that Dorcus' father was a man named Bob Baker.

Dorcus married Hugh Davis, Sr. on 02 Sep 1849, and later either co-habitated with (or otherwise had children with) Caswell Cross, beginning around 1861. Note that Dorcus' headstone has her last name as Trammell rather than either Davis' or Cross' last name. She likely divorced/separated from Hugh Davis, Sr. because she was having children with Caswell Cross by 1862 and Hugh didn't die until 1886. (Caswell Cross died in 1893).
