aka Forks of Edisto.

Skirmish, Capt. Sterling Turner vs. Capt. William Connaway.

Col. LeRoy Hammond's militia attempted to harass the Loyalist inhabitants in the fork of the Edisto River, but the British sent out Capt. William Connaway with a detachment of the Loyalist militia. On August 15, the Loyalists attacked the Patriot band at the head of the Four Mile Branch, killed eighteen of them and captured twenty-five horses, with swords, pistols, and other equipment.

Four Mile Creek flows into the west side of the Edisto River's north fork about two miles north of the modern Orangeburg city limits. SC Hwy. 400 crosses the creek near its headwaters, about five miles west of Orangeburg.
