Nathan Andrew Feaster married three times. His daughter Maria Louisa "Lula" Georgiana Feaster maintained contact with several of her half-siblings, and kept photos of them in her photo album. During the Civil War, N.A. Feaster served with 1st Regiment, South Carolina Infantry (Hagood's), which entered Confederate service in April, 1861. Nathan was apparently one of the ca. 40 casualties of this unit at the bloody Battle of Sharpsburg (Antietem) on September 16-18, 1862, and was never heard from again. Nathan Feaster's last daughter, Hattie Harrison Feaster, married a descendant of the Hagood line. |
