- The Retreat Plantation house on St. Simons Island was owned by Major William Page from 1804 until his death in 1827, when his daughter, Anna Matilda Page, and her husband, Thomas Butler King, inherited it. The house, no longer standing, was located on the southwestern tip of the island.

Thomas Butler King and his wife Anna raised their ten children at Retreat Plantation. King made substantial improvements to the Retreat property and in the 1820s managed to accumulate other neighboring lands and plantations. - Metadata URL:
