That's interesting that Lorinda and Orlando divorced; the regimental history for the 12th says she died about 1868, but I suppose divorce wasn't something sung from the rooftops in Victorian times.
I am descended from Lorinda's brother, Eben, whose first wife (not my ancestor) was Orlando Davis's sister, Cynthia.I've found some internet sources that say Ann is Nancy Bean, born 1799 in Pittsfield, daughter of Ebenezer and Lydia (Wentworth) Bean, however, I have yet to find solid proof for this statement.
