The original site of Ft. Caroline is 100 yards out in the river from the present day park.? Where the 10th street bridge crosses the St. Johns, on the mainland side, was located the Spanish outpost, a blockhouse with moat, probably similar to Fort Matanzas, which was a carbon copy of the two forts at Piccolata (opposite sides of the St. John).

Came across this today...

After the great hurricane of 1878, Readding Parker found that most of his cattle were located east of the river, near Lake Marian. There in 1879 he constructed a log house which became known as the "Parker Place." Until his death February 18, 1891, Readding lived at the Parker Place. His last three children were born there. Ellen (Willingham) Parker, widow of Readding, moved with her children to Basinger in 1898 and later moved to Fort Pierce where she died, March 8,1933.
Legend surrounds the old "Parker Place," located near Lake Marian, several miles west of Whittier, now Kenansville. It is said that Readding Parker buried gold there and his spirit haunted the place guarding the treasure. Cowhunters camping near the area would run in fear at any unusual sound.
