 While patrolling the area near Charleston a mounted detachment of Brig. Gen. Marion’s Patriots led by Capt. George Cooper attacked and captured a small force of Loyalists. When Brig. Gen. Marion set out against the British at Parker's Ferry on this same day he sent Capt. George Cooper with a detachment of mounted militia to create a diversion. At Cypress Swamp, fifteen miles southwest of Monck's Corner, he chased away a party of Loyalists and rode on towards Charleston. At Dorchester, he drove off cattle in front of the British post there and again continued down the Charleston Road ready to cause more trouble. At the Ashley River Church, his men attacked another group of Loyalists, which were using the church as a military station. Capt. Cooper had no casualties in all of these engagements and he was able to return to his compatriots at Peyre's Plantation with a number of prisoners. |
