Windsor Hill Plantation, an inland rice plantation, was established in 1701. General William Moultrie, victor at the Battle of Sullivan's Island in 1776 and governor 1785-1787 and 1792-94, was first buried here but reburied on Sullivan's Island, at Fort Moultrie, in 1977. The dedication of the marker coincides with the anniversary of General Moultrie's death in 1805.
