Hi Martha
If you go to Family Search (free site and search for Dorris born in Ireland you'll get 611 matches.
You then trawl through the 31 pages and find 4 records which mention New Jersey which are:
William 1705 & 1715; John 1737 and Mary 1742
However I could not find any of them on www.rootsireland.ie/
I couldn't find any Dorris records on PRONI or in the Tithe Applotments or in the Irish phone book.
On ancestry I searched public member trees for William Dorris born co Down 1705 and got 363 matches so this look like your best bet.
