According to research by Ed Besch , a Virginia military historian who is credited with much of the rediscovery of the " lost " site of the fort , Fitzhugh Lee was humiliated by defeat at the hands of black Union soldiers at a time when he was a candidate to replace J . E . B . Stuart ( who had been killed May 11 ) as head of the cavalry corps of the Army of Northern Virginia . After completion , Fort Pocahontas served as a refuge for escaped slaves and was used to hold suspected Confederate sympathizers during the Siege of Petersburg until hostilities ended in April 1865 . The remote site had been largely forgotten and untouched by development for 130 years when , following Besch ' s research , it was purchased in 1996 by Harrison Ruffin Tyler ( born 1928 ) , grandson of U . S . President John Tyler , who lives nearby at Sherwood Forest Plantation . It has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places . The William and Mary Center for Archaeological Research of the College of William and Mary in nearby Williamsburg has done extensive work at the site and about the events which took place there . The current owner of Sherwood Forest Plantation , Harrison Ruffin Tyler , is the grandson of President John Tyler , and a descendant of John Rolfe , Pocahontas , President William Henry Harrison and Edmund Ruffin . In recent years , annual Civil War reenactment events have been held at Fort Pocahontas .
