About June 30 Bryan and nearly 800 men began marching south down the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Valley toward Cheraw, there to join up with British forces. American General Griffith Rutherford ordered his adjutant, Colonel William Lee Davidson, and about 200 men to pursue the Tories, and a race ensued down the Yadkin River Valley. Believing themselves to be out of harm’s way and close enough to Cornwallis’ headquarters to prevent attack, Bryan’s Tories pitched camp near an inn and a mill on the Cheraw Road called Colson’s. However, Colonel Davidson had no intention of letting the loyalists escape and on the morning of July 21 he surprised the enemy and drove the loyalists into the woods—and back to their homes. Davidson thus denied Cornwallis an addition of nearly 1000 troops and effectively broke any remaining loyalist sympathies along the Yadkin River Valley. * For more information, contact Colson’s Mill Chapter President Daniel Burleson Email or phone 704-438-1531 Chapter Page can be found on Facebook** NC Society, Sons of American Revolution website www.ncssar.org Battle of Colson’s Mill All day July 23, 2022 https://ncssar.org/event/battle-of-colsons-mill-2/ No additional detail for this event.
