I apologize for being so tardy in posting to this list ... life has been catching up with me as I help my Mom in the nursing home plus miscellaneous demands. I wanted to tell you about a few things though. I get so little time to work on the Gorin family tree but once in awhile! First: I've been hunting for well over 30 years to find a photograph of Miss Annie Gorin; youngest daughter of Franklin Gorin (Mammoth Cave). When I represented Annie last summer in the cemetery program at Glasgow Municipal, all we had was one faded picture of her with accompanied her obituary. Yesterday, a picture was found, dated 1946 (after her death) showing her as a much younger woman and a notation that she also taught piano and music at Glasgow High School - which no one knew. If I was 30 years younger, I'd done handstands. Then, last night I received a notice from ancestry.com that they had released more Civil War records. I did a search for Gorin and found a series of them entitled "Consolidated List of All Persons, of Class II, subject to do military duty in the First Congregational District in the State of ___ (several states). Dated in 1863. Now, not all these fellows actually served, but they were drafted according to the records. I found the following, all ours.: Dr. William Henry Gorin (Fishing Well Precinct, MO) James W. Gorin, lawyer, Barren Co. Marcellus Gladin Gorin (Rev) of St. Louis. - he did serve Sanford Pell Gorin Bartley William Gorin Jr. of Louisiana, MO George G. Gorin of Litchfield, IL. Rowin [sic} Gorin of Barren Co KY and a confusing one: Gladin Gorin, Grocer, St Louis, born CT. Now - he's ours, but he was not born in CT! So there is an error there. While I have some spare time this weekend I want to do more snooping around. I was particularly excited to find Rowan Gorin who disappears early, and our own Bartley William Gorin Jr. who died in 1866. I hope you are all well - Sandi
