dec 26, 1780 - Skirmish at Cheraw

Description:

Brigadier General (Pro Tempore) Henry William Harrington ended up taking the small town of Cheraw away from the British and Loyalists there. What happened to them is currently unknown. Brigadier General Harrington established a POW camp there, where many captured British and Loyalists were sent soon after Cheraw was seized by the Patriots. Most likely the town of Cheraw was seized from the British much earlier, like in mid-October of 1780 but not confirmed.
