apr 27, 1781 - Skirmish at Hulin's Mill (Hulen's Mill)

Description:

At Hulin's Mill on Caftish Creek, Col. Abel Kolb with a group of his men under Lt. Col. Lemuel Benton, Capt. Joseph Dabbs, and Capt. John Cox, surprised a group of Loyalists under John Deer and Osborne Lane, killing Deer and wounding Osborne, who escaped into Catfish Swamp. Another Loyalist, Caleb Williams was hanged by Col. Kolb. It was forays like this which no doubt fomented Col. Abel Kolb's own murder, which took place on the night of 28 April.
