Skirmish at Enoree River where Col Roebuck Captures Prisoners (nov 1, 1780 – nov 30, 1780)

Description:

Loyalist Major Jonathan Frost ordered Capt. Alexander Chesney and his militia to "join him at the appointed place on the Enoree." Somehow, the Patriot Col. Benjamin Roebuck learned of this rendezvous site, and his men captured Capt. Chesney and his men. They were immediately disarmed and marched away. When Major Frost arrived learning of Capt. Chesney's capture, he immediately pursued. Major Frost caught up with Col. Roebuck twelve miles upriver, but Col. Roebuck had his men in a strong defensive position inside a cabin. When Major Frost attacked, he was killed and the rest of his Loyalists fled.
