mar 6, 1781 - Skirmish at Lynches Creek (Lynches River)

Description:

Brigadier General Thomas Sumter and his partisan force were ambushed by a force of SC Loyalists led by Major Thomas Fraser. Both sides gave ground after suffering heavy causalities. This engagement would evolve from one that occurred earlier that same day in a skirmish at Radcliffe's Bridge, a little further south on Lynches Creek (now Lynches River).
