According to their information, this Plantation was the home of William H. Chase, Capt. US Army Engineers who built Ft. Pickens and was located near Ft. Barrancas. Fort Pickens was named in honor of Brigadier General Andrew PICKENS of the South Carolina State Troops in the American Revolution. In 1957, the burial plot was moved due to highway construction. It is now in the Gulf Islands National Seashore on SR 399, six miles from the front gate of the Naval Air Station on the right side of the road.
