``Sabbath morning, 22nd. Our Party retreated yesterday to the Meeting House, where a recruit of some hundreds joined them with some Artillery, and some of our Party crossed the Swamp, and coming near a thicket where they expected an Ambuscade might probably be, Col. James Screven and one more, went forward to examine, the Colonel, and one Continental officer, and Mr. Judah Lewis, were shot down. The Colonel had three wounds; the other two killed. A flag was sent and brought off the Colonel.'' [More]
