After British Lt. Col. John Maitland had repaired the Saltketcher Bridge, he marched thirteen miles to the Fishpond Bridge, which had also been burned. Lt. Col. Maitland repaired that bridge, and then halted two miles away.

Major Skelly was with Lt. Col. Maitland's force, and he wrote "A party of Rebel horse fired at some of our Scouts, wounded an Indian and two others, and then rode off."

That night Gen. Prevost and his army crossed the Combahee Ferry and joined Lt. Col. Maitland’s force. The whole army then marched to the Horseshoe Bridge, which had also been destroyed by BG Moultrie’s force. On May 8th, Gen. Prevost marched his army to Parker’s Ferry.
