[1] The day before the battle, a local resident named Sallie Salter entered the Loyalist camp to sell eggs.

[2] The information Salter provided to both men led to them making a decision to attack the Loyalist encampment.

The Patriot forces approached the Loyalist camp at night and launched a surprise attack.

John Sligsby and David Godden were both mortally wounded and many of the soldiers fled the area into a ravine near the river, which has been known as "Tory Hole" ever since.

[3] Today, a state historic marker entitled with the name of the battle denotes the site of the engagement.
