The ages for Samuel & Dorcas are significantly different from the 1850 Census
that was posted by Mr. Ken Whitney earlier. The dates were very clear on the
1860 image. It is possible that both are correct and that both men married
women named Dorcas.

If this is true then Phoebe Jane (Whitney) Orr descends from John & Elinor,
Benjamin & Jane, Nathaniel I & Sarah Ford, Isaac & Sarah Crosby, Isaac & Mary
Crockett, Samuel & Dorcas Wescott, William & Elizabeth. There is a name with
an address for the submitter that can be located http://www.familysearch.org,
if you wish to inquire about the source of the record to confirm the
information.

Pierce's work does not give a wife or family of Samuel, but he does for his
twin brother Edmund and his younger brother Isaac.
