The archive depicts Simpson's birthplace, her activities as a young woman and "friend" of Edward, their marriage, their life as newlyweds and as middle-aged and elderly aristocrats, and occasionally with noted political and cultural figures. Her husband is photographed as the young Prince of Wales, at his father's funeral, as King [he served less than a year], at his abdication and wedding to Wallis, and in later life. Fine. . Wallis Warfield was the daughter of Teackle Wallis Warfield, whose father had been a Copperhead bunkmate of Severn Teackle Wallis at Fort McHenry during the Civil War. "One of his colleagues imprisoned with him in the 1860s, Henry Mactier Warfield, named his fifth son Teackle Wallis Warfield. He in turn in 1896 named his daughter Bessie Wallis Warfield. She later became famous as Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor" [Wikipedia article on S. Teackle Wallis].
