Cynthia Charlotte Moon (1828–1895) was born in Danville, Virginia, on August 10, 1828. She and her sister, Virginia Moon are best known for their role as Confederate spies during the American Civil War. When the girls were young, their father sold their slaves and moved the family north to Oxford, Ohio, where they lived in the house that is known as the "Lottie Moon House." As spies for the Confederacy, Lottie and Ginnie smuggled information and medicine from North to South.
