Donald McDonald, leading a combined force of 60 Indians and Loyalists, surprises the Patriots as they work in the fields. Most run to Fort Clayton about five miles away but a German, John Christian Shell (Schell?), and his family make a stand in their blockhouse. McDonald is wounded, captured, and dies the next day, after his leg is amputated. Additionally, Shell and 11 attackers are also killed while another six of their number are wounded in the failed raid.
