I'm not sure anyone is out there reading my posts to this list ... never hear from any of you all! But, I just spent about 2 hours going through about 1,000 military records on the Gorin clan. I have posted information before on other military records - here are some more if you're interested: Joseph Gibson Gorin (s/o Henry Madison Gorin > John Darns Gorin >Henry Gorin.)
