Seeking information on the Battle of Elizabethtown, North Carolina which took place on August 27, 1781. At this battle the Whigs (patriots) broke Tory (loyalists) power in Bladen County by driving them into "Tory Hole" a deep ravine along the banks of the Cape Fear River. Many tories were killed at this battle. Has anyone ever written an article on this event? Has a roster of participants ever been prepared similar to the patriot and loyalist rosters assembled by Bobby Moss for those engaged in the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge on February 27, 1776? I would appreciate receiving any and all information that anyone may have on this battle. The information above is from "The North Carolina Gazetteer: A Dictionary of Tar Heel Places" by William S. Powell. Thanks for any help offered. Doug Purcell 633 North Randolph Avenue Eufaula, AL 36027-1209 dpurcell@the-link.net
