About
Virginia "Ginnie" Bethel Moon (1844–1925) was born in Virginia in 1844. When she was young, her family moved to Oxford, Ohio where they lived in what is now known as the "Lottie Moon House." She moved to Memphis, Tennessee with her mother in 1862 where she began a short but notable career as an espionage agent working with Memphis entrepreneur-turned-soldier Nathan Bedford Forrest and other Confederates, including her sister, Charlotte "Lottie" Moon. When the Union forces occupied the city, she was arrested for spying but escaped with the help of her sister. She continued her work further south and was eventually imprisoned in New Orleans. Moon returned to Memphis after the war and became a philanthropist, particularly helping with the yellow fever epidemics of the 1870s. In the early days of silent film, at the age of 75, Moon acted in several movies, including Robin Hood and The Spanish Dancer. She died in New York City in 1925.
