An interesting posting involving Gen. D.H. Hill and his aide Major Ratchford is at:

Having pointed these out to you, I must suggest that Major Ratchford's home state was South Carolina (York County) and until your posting I had no knowledge of any true Florida domicile.He did move to Texas and marry a daughter of a noted ranch family and some more is mentioned at:

I hope this was of some assistance.
