29 August 1782

29 - Wadboo Barony

A British foraging party, made up of black and white troops, commanded by Maj. Thomas Fraser, attacked Brig. Gen. Marion and his militia at Wadboo. Arranging his troops around the house and along the avenue of cedars, Marion beat back the British. Shortly after this skirmish, Marion made Wadboo his headquarters until his Brigade was dismissed 15 December 1782, the day after the British evacuation of Charlestown.
