After Maj. Samuel Andrews joined up with Col. David Fanning right after the action at Cumberland County Court House by other Loyalists on August 14th, this combined force crossed the Cape Fear River at Cambellton and marched southward towards Wilmington along the river.

In Bladen County, they passed by the home of Capt. Peter Robeson and burned down his house. Across the river was the plantation of Col. Thomas Robeson, the brother of Capt. Peter Robeson. Col. Fanning sent a detachment across the river and they burned that plantation as well. They also took several men prisoner, paroling all but twenty of them.

After seven days of raiding down the Cape Fear River, Col. David Fanning delivered his prisoners to Capt. John Leggett, Maj. James Craig's second-in-command, on August 24th.
