“My tract of land on Hilton Head known by the name of Springfield that I purchased of John Keen, Esquire, I give, grant and devise to my son William”, wrote William Pope, Sr. in his 1823 will. Springfield was a small 150-200 acre plantation lying on the inland side of Fish Haul Creek, between Coggins Point, Springfield was added to it and in effect lost its identity as a separate plantation although its area is still known.
