Brattonsville: Choosing Sides | The Southern Campaign

In June 1780, the British had established an outpost at Rocky Mount, in the Catawba Valley. Lieutenant Colonel George Turnbull sent troops into what are now York and Chester counties to round up and eliminate the rebels. Captain Christian Huck, a loyalist from Philadelphia, was the leader.

On July 12, 1780, the Patriot militia, led by Colonel William Bratton, defeated the British Legion. This battle became known as the Battle at Williamson's Plantation or Huck's Defeat.
