Capt. Baylor Hill vs. British Legion.
Strawberry Ferry is where some of Tarleton's men were captured,
thus sending Tarleton to attack Col. Anthony Walton White at
Lenud's Ferry. Some of the Continentals that had escaped Tarleton's
victory at Moncks Corner/ Biggin's Bridge reformed along the
Santee River under the command of Continental cavalry commander,
Col. Anthony White, and on May 5, 1780, they captured eighteen
men from Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton's command at Elias Ball's
plantation (probably Comingtee). Comingtee is just south of Childsbury.
