The disciple Dorcas (in Greek) is also known as Tabitha (in Aramaic) and means 'the gazelle' and she features in Acts 9 36-42. She lived in Joppa, and, judging by the quickness that Peter came to see her to raise her to life, she was presumably important in the Church at Joppa, and very likely to be another female (like Lydiia, Phoebe, Priscilla and so on) Church leader in the early Church.
In this respect, if she was a leader in her own right, in keeping with Jewish convention in always naming living husbands of women (eg Priscilla and Aquila are always mentioned together) she was either widowed or unmarried.
In any case no husband is ever mentioned, let alone his name if he even existed.
