The Annals and Parish Register of St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish, in South Carolina, from 1680 to 1884. Introductory Notes. Lieut.-Col. Coates, in command of 500 infantry and 100 cavalry, was attacked by Lieut.-Col. Lee with the Legion, and Lieut.-Col. Hampton with the State cavalry. Generals Marion and Sumter, coming up with reinforcements, continued the engagement. The Americans killed and wounded 40 of the British and took 140 prisoners, and a large quantity of baggage, several wagons and above 100 horses. Those who fell were buried by the roadside, from Quimby Avenue to Quimby Bridge. The Wando was the scene of many skirmishes. The British at one time fortified Cainhoy, and the Americans searched vessels passing up and down the river. * ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
