The Eve home and plantation was opposite Beech Island on which was the home of Oswell's niece, Catherine FitzSimons and her husband which South Carolina Governor James Hammond called "Redcliffe". The Hammond home is now a historic house museum open to the public; Oswell Eve's "Forest Hall" no longer exists. Beech Island was also the location of the Lamar plantation, when the Lamars moved there from Maryland, and of Oswell's sister-in-law, Catherine Pritchard and her husband Christopher FitzSimons.
