Kentucky: A History of the State. Perrin, Battle & Kniffin, 2nd ed.,1885, Webster Co. C.A. DORIS was born December 16, 1860, in Providence, Webster Co., Ky., and is a son of M.C. and Elizabeth (Doris) Doris. M.C. Doris, subject's father, was born in North Carolina, and in his youth came to Kentucky. He held the office of circuit and county clerk of Webster County; he died in 1869. Our subject, at the age of sixteen years was appointed deputy county clerk and held that office acceptably until August, 1882, when he was elected clerk, which position he now holds. His long continuance in office is ample proof of his efficiency. Doris = NC http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/webster/doris.ca.txt
