After a battle lasting less than an hour, American forces out-maneuvered the British column, and later destroyed all grain found in the mill.

Angered at Izard's lack of action, Brown left with his division (half the army's strength) and marched to Sacketts Harbor, New York, where a British attack was feared.

Attempting to deprive the British of their chief source of flour, Izard sent a brigade of about 1,200 men, consisting of the 5th, 14th, 15th and 16th U.S. Infantry with some detachments of riflemen and U.S. Dragoons under Brigadier General Daniel Bissell, to take Cooks Mills on Lyon's Creek in Crowland township.

Their dead, approximately a dozen soldiers, were interred in shallow pits at the Yokom farmhouse near the mills.

Izard also heard that British ships dominated Lake Ontario, and any American advance risked being cut off by a landing in its rear.

Drummond moved to the remains of the fort but chose not to rebuild it, and the fighting along the Niagara Frontier came to an end.
