The song, "Farewell to the Star Spangled Banner", is attributed to Frances Hundley. The book "Southern Women, Southern Voices: Civil War Songs by Southern Women" by Mary Lee Cooke (ProQuest, (2007) p 49-50) states: "Mrs. Hundley was very likely Frances Hundley, wife of Elijah D. Hundley. In 1860 she was fifty-six years of age. They and their six children lived in Halifax County, Virginia. Given a real estate value over $22,000 and a personal estate value in excess of $63,000, Hundley must have owned a very large acreage worked, presumably, by a large number of slaves. After the war, his real estate value increased to $25,000, while his personal value decreased to $8,000. They still employed three African-American servants. Their home has been described as one of the finest in the area. Living about eighteen miles from the Confederate Capitol, the Hundleys experienced the war first hand: [As reported in the May 28, 1862 Richmond Enquirer, p 2 c 1] "For the last two days, there has been spirited skirmishing going on near Hanover Court House., some eighteen miles from Richmond. We have learned from a soldier, who was in the engagements some particulars we subjoin. On Monday the enemy came out in force near Talliaferro's Mill, burnt down the bridge across the Pamunkey, near Captain Newton's, shot a young man named Hundley near his mother's farm and carried him off. At the same time they destroyed Mrs. Hundley's furniture, ripped open her feather beds, and engaged in other savage-like propensities. The party was composed principally of New York Zouaves."
