 Loyalist Maj. Jonathan Frost ordered Capt. Alexander Chesney and his militia to "join him at the appointed place on the Enoree." Somehow, the Patriots learned of this rendezvous site, and when Capt. Chesney arrived Col. Benjamin Roebuck and his men captured them. They were immediately disarmed and marched away. When Maj. Frost arrived and learned of Capt. Chesney's capture, he immediately pursued. Maj. Frost caught up with Col. Roebuck twelve miles upriver, but Col. Roebuck had his men in a strong defensive position inside a cabin. When Maj. Frost attacked, he was killed and the rest of his Loyalists fled. |
