Chasefield Plantation Cemetery
Pensacola Beach, Escambia County, Florida

Contributed by Wendy Bishop, Dec 16, 2001 [heymon328@aol.com]. Total records = 11.

This small cemetery was originally located on land that is now part of Pensacola Naval Air Station. They were moved to an area just outside Ft. Pickens in 1957. Ft. Pickens is located on Pensacola Beach, FL.

I have transcribed from records stored at Ft. Pickens with the librarian. Date compiled, unknown. Records also exist with the Penscola Historical Society.

Plaque outside the surrounding fence reads "These gravestones are from Chasefield Plantation Cemetery, originally located on land that is now part of Pensacola Naval Air Station. They were moved to this location in 1957."

Chasefield Plantation was the home of Major William H. Chase, who supervised the construction of Ft. Pickens in the early 1800's.
