| Notes: | Henry Orchard and Charles C. Radcliffe appear in a Civil War era portrait in the photo album of Maria Louisa "Lula" G. Feaster of Fairfield Co., South Carolina. Charlie Radcliffe was an early beau who gave Lula the leather-bound photo album before the War Between the States. The album survived. It is being transcribed in order to share its information. Henry Orchard and Charlie Radcliffe both served the Confederacy in the 15th Regiment South Carolina Infantry, Company A, Columbia Rifles - - under the command of Charlie's father, Captain Thomas W. Radcliffe. Henry Orchard's father, William Henry Orchard, was born in England and was a co-founder of Columbia College for women in Columbia, South Carolina (HN 363 in the 1860 census). W.H. Orchard defended the school when Columbia was burned near the end of the Civil War.
