John Postell, Jr. (Kingstree Regiment) led two other companies and they raided the British garrison here, killed two British guards, wounded two, and captured two Surgeons, one Quartermaster, one wagon master, one steward, and 25 non-commissioned officers/privates. They also burned fourteen wagons loaded with soldiers' clothing and baggage and twenty hogsheads of rum. They took seven other wagons and retired with his prisoners. |
