Skirmish at Wappoo Cut (23 abr 1782 año – 24 abr 1782 año)

Descripción:

Two hundred Loyalist refugees from James Island crossed Wappoo Cut to plunder homes along the Ashley River. One in the group was Thomas Farr, a NC Continental Line deserter who was captured. Refugees again crossed the cut taking John Linning prisoner but releasing him a few hours later. As Linning was walking home, he was shot and killed. A British galley found his body on the shore, wrapped him in a blanket and throwing him in the water. The British had a policy of no interaction with refugees.
