 Skirmish, Capt. John Norwood vs. Maj. William Cunningham. The skirmish at Pratt's Mill was on Little River and the mill used the under shot method of propulsion (no mill pond or dam). It was located in the shoal area of the river just south of the Highway 184 bridge over Little River. Pratt's Mill was located on the Little River about eight miles northwest of present-day Abbeville. Capt. John Norwood guarded the mill with thirty men. The mill was owned by William Pratt, a member of Capt. Norwood's militia. On the night of October 3rd, a large body of Loyalists and Cherokee Indians raided the mill and burned it to the ground. The Loyalists were led by Maj. William Cunningham. The Patriots escaped into the night, but Capt. Norwood was wounded, and the Patriots lost thirty horses to the Loyalists. |
