About Elizabeth (Lizzie) C. Orchard:

............................................

Elizabeth apparently studied music at Columbia Female Institute and played the piano. Under the name "Lizzie C. Orchard" she wrote and had published a song during the Civil War entitled "Maj. General Hampton's quickstep", a military style march for piano. General Wade Hampton was a well known Confederate commander from South Carolina who twice served as governor of the state and as a U.S. Senator after the war.

Lipscomb, T.C. Head 60 Farmer S.C. S.C. S.C.
Lipscomb, Elizabeth Wife 35 Keeping House S.C. England S.C.
Lipscomb, Mattie Lou 18 Daughter S.C. S.C. S.C.
Lipscomb, Tressa 14 Daughter S.C. S.C. S.C.

These two children do not belong to Elizabeth, since the 1900 Census says that she and Thomas had been married for 20 years at that time, implying that they were married in 1879 or 1880. These childen are either from his previous marriage, or are nieces, etc.
