Father Abram J. Ryan

Have you any material that might connect Father Abram J Ryan (1839-1886) with Poetess Fanny Green (Borland) MOORES, (1848AR-1879TN) d/o Colonel Solon Borland, M D, (1811VA-1864TX).

Daily Arkansas Gazette, article 21 Jan 1872, page 2, column3, <http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/shelby/newspapers/thedeadc7nw.txt> concerns her poem "The Dead Confederacy", <http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/shelby/newspapers/thedeadc2nw.txt> written in Princeton, Arkansas in 1865, published in London's Cosmopolitan 21 Dec 1871, referencing to Father Ryan's famous poem "The Lost Cause" the printed the week before and implying he provided them with Fanny's poem They, readily, praised the young poetess. Thank you for any help you can provide. I'm willing to pay for service and copies of any materials found connecting the two, subject to prior approval.
