Skirmish, Capt. Malachi Murphy vs. Maj. Micajah Gainey and Capt. David Fanning.

The Brownsville community had itself been the scene of another engagement; a skirmish had been fought at Brown's Mills between Capt. Malachi Murphy's company of Patriots and a party of Loyalists led by Maj. Micajah Gainey and Capt. David Fanning.

Brown's Mill was probably in the general vicinity of the church. The name of Muddy Creek has today been changed to Rogers Creek.
