A detachment of mounted Maryland Continentals, under the command of Col. Tadeus Kosciuszko, attacked and routed British regulars and a wood cutting party they were escorting. This was the last "battle/skirmish" whereby any troops were actually killed during the Revolution in South Carolina. Capt. William Wilmot of Maryland and several of his men were killed.

At the same time as this raid, one of his officers - Lt. John Markland - and men from the PA 1st Provisional Battalion enticed a party of ten "British Negro Horse" into an ambush near the Quarter Hosue. The Black Dragoons lost eight men killed or wounded and two others captured. A number of horses were also taken. There were no Patriot casualties.
