12 March 1863.
I received a letter from Dosha Clark [daughter of Lavinia, sister of Juliet] and she stated that cousin Hiram Harrison was murdered for his money about twenty miles from their house he was buying cattle for the Government he was killed the 23 October 1862
Julia (Juliet) Dunn's letter implies a relationship of some sort, but what, remains unknown. Her father, Abner Dunn had a long-time association with Hiram's father-in-law, Robert Dunn, but was not a brother or nephew. It's possible that Julia is using the term very loosely, based on the marriage of her brother-in-law William Reece's sister's marriage to Robert's son Robert C. Dunn's. The alternative is that Robert Dunn and |Abner Dunn]]Abner Dunn]] were cousins, whose children also called each other cousin, but this remains highly speculative.
