Lane, Mills.

Gowrie Plantation and East Hermitage Plantation were adjoining estates on Argyle Island on the Savannah River (Chatham County, Georgia). They were originally purchased from the McAlpin family in 1833 and 1849, respectively, by Charles Izard Manigault (1795-1874). The two estates were later owned by Charles' son, Louis Manigault, Esq. (1828-1899) of Charleston, South Carolina, who operated them as one plantation. Once one of the largest rice plantations in the South, Gowrie and East Hermitage stopped thriving in 1877.
