Descripción:

Loyalist Maj "Bloody Bill" Cunningham militia rode to home of Patriot John Boyce's to kill him. He had just returned home to his family after being on campaign after fighting at Kings Mountain, Cowpens, and Eutaw Springs. He was well known to Cunningham. Boyce ran out the front door spooking the Loyalist horses running for the woods. Cunningham gave chase striking Boyce with his sword cutting off three fingers. Boyce made it to the thick woods where Cunningham's horse could not go. Boyce survived the attack and his Patriot commander, Capt Casey caught several of the Loyalist, hanging the in a tree near Duncan's Creek as a warning.
