Overview

This history traces the origins of the ancestors of Glenn Bert Dorr and his wife, Anne Prichard McLean Dorr. Looking back four generations, that is to the generation of the great grandparents and Glenn and Anne, there are sixteen families: Dorr, Haas, Getman, Frederick, Simonson, Lamphere, Thurber, Hall, McLean, Wharton. Forbis, Tate, Hopkins, Hardy, Baldwin and Prichard. Of these families, three originated in Germany: Dorr, Haas and Getman. One came from Holland: Simonson, two from Scotland: McLean and Forbis, and seven from England: Lampheer, Thurber, Wharton, Hopkins, Hardy, Baldwin and Prichard .When we looked at origins, we also kept track of when the families migrated to North America in relation to known historical events. One such event was the Great Migration from Britain between 1625 and 1645. Four families of this study came to North America as part of the Great Migration: Hardy, Hustace, Baldwin and Prichard. So, we have included a brief history of the Great Migration.Famous ancestral lines in this study include: that of Stephen Hopkins, a Mayflower Pilgrim; and the Thurber family which included Candace Thurber, the mother of interior decorating. The McLean family traces back to Hector, 8th Chieftain MacLean of Treshnish, and through him back to Scottish and English royalty.
