I haven't found any supportive documentation that Dorcas Isham was ever married to a Carraway husband by any name. Sources indicate she was married to Robert Foster and Bartholomew Hoskins:

Dorcas Mira Isham Foster Hoskins

Spouses

Robert Foster
1585–1622 (m. 1604)

Bartholomew Hoskins
1599–1663 (m. 1628)

And from her profile notes:

On 3 Jul 1624, Mrs. Dorcas Foster (Isham) was married at St. Dunstan's Church, in Stepney, London, England to Bartholomew Hoskins of Jamestown, Virginia and London, England. Dorcas Foster was described as a widow with several small children. Bartholomew Hoskins, an ancient planter, was in Virginia by 1616. He undoubtedly made a number of trips from Virginia and England as he maintained a home in each location. On one of these trips back to England he married Mrs. Dorcas Foster.

Good morning. I am currently working on the Hoskins Family tree and Bartholomew Hoskins was the “ancient planter” who came first. In most of the reading I have done, “ Bart” has been listed as the Son of John Hoskins MP representing Herefordshire. I have not been able to locate any proof of this in primary source material. John Hoskins spent time in the Tower because he and the king did not agree about attitudes about Ireland. While he was there, he wrote to his wife and children…but not Bart! Theses letters have been collected in a book that is still available. Also there is a collective biography for members of parliament….again Bart is not mentioned as a son. John also paid only half of a stipend for passage to Virginia…I wonder if his time in the tower had something to do with that.
Also…have any of you done DNA testing…any “ancient” relatives located with Hoskins?
Theses are all items I’ve been investigating…please comment about any insights I’ve missed.
Thanks so much,
A Hoskins Bride,
Madelynn Janson Kennebeck
