Black Creek area actions (jan 1, 1781 – dec 31, 1781)
Description:
Patriot Capt Stephen "Killing Steve" Jackson Sr was a member of Lt Col Lemuel Benton's militia regiment from the Thompson Creek area. He got the nickname for killing a great many men during the war. In the Black Creek area there weren't many Whigs, so the Tories plundered the area at will. Capt Jackson and his men put a stop to the Tories and outlaws in the area.Added to timeline:
