The company of Capt. Ezekiel Slocumb moved down stream during the battle, forded 
the creek, penetrated the swamp, and made a furiuous charge on the flank of the 
tory forces. This action decided the fate of the day in the battle of Moores Creek 
Bridge. When his unit attacked the loyalists, they broke and ran. Slocumb's unit 
pursued them until the partiots captured a wagon from the fleeing soldiers. The 
wagon contained three hundred guns and seventy five guineas. [27 Feb 1776]
