1 marzo 1781 anni - Skirmish at Wylie's Plantation, death of Samuel Wylie

Descrizione:

After the attack on Capt. Benjamin Land at the nearby Rocky Creek Settlement (March 3rd), Lt. James Kennedy and a few of his men attacked a group of Loyalists who were at the plantation of "Old James Wylie, in the district of Rocky Creek." The Loyalists thought they were outnumbered and fled through the "old fields". They soon realized that they had been attacked by a much smaller force and then counter-attacked. Lt. Kennedy and his men had to withdraw, leaving behind Samuel Wylie, the son of James Wylie, who was killed by the Loyalists.
