Hi All, I am fairly certain that the letter was written to Jemima Gorin, who was married to Thomas Moss. Their daughter, Lucinda Gorin Moss married William Landon Paxton. I received the letter from Lee Gorin many years ago at our Paxton Reunion of 1981 in Falls City NE. He had other letters, this being the most interesting, but at least one of the others was from Jemima. I thought this letter really brought out the hardships of the conflict, and how it directly affected many of our ancestors. Cheers, Linda Elms Paul Daughter of Martha Lee Paxton, Daug of Lawerence J Paxton, Son of Thomas J Paxton, son of William Landon Paxton, Husband of Lucinda Gorin Moss, Daug of Jemima Gorin
