"Dead Chest Island" does appear before 1820. But so does "Dead Man's Chest": John Augustine Waller, "A Voyage in the West Indies" (1807): "We therefore made all sail towards the Dead-man's Chest, a rock so called, from its singular shape, which lies about three leagues from the main-land. ...It has its name, in Spanish, el Casa di Muerti [sic], which means nothing more than a coffin, but, literally translated, is the Dead-man's Chest, its present English name." "Dead Chest Island," however, is hardly coffin-shaped. "DMC" is a different place, not far from Ponce Bay on the south coast of Puerto Rico. Its name on Google maps is "Isla Caja de Muertos." It partially resembles a coffin.
