Earliest records of him show his birth on December 27, 1798 in Ailringen, Jagstkreis (Christian Sector, according to daugher Amanda) in the State of Wuerttemberg, Germany. I found this on the IGI Index LDS. This is consistent with the Church in which he was married to Marianna Zeller (Sankt Marinus Katholisch), where Marianna's birth was recorded, and where two of their children that I know of,
John Dorr and J. Michael Doerr were baptized.
In Passenger Lists: Germans to America I found what I think is his immigration data. He is age 52 when he arrives in 1852, making his birth date 1798, which matches the above IGI records, and he is arriving in the same year as other son J. Michael (my gr. grandfather) says he immigrated, according to the 1900 Census.
At this point I can't find any data on whether he came alone or with his wife Marianna. I would think she came along as she would have been under 40 and presumably alive. I have some census records in 1890 and 1870 to pick through yet, so possibly she'll turn up.
I pick him up again in the 1880 Census where is shown living with his son John & Eva Dorr and their 5 children at 245 Main Street in Peru. His age at that time is 74.
