Abstract:

On June 20, 1780 Whigs and Torries faced off at Ramsour's Mill near Lincolnton. The battle was indecisive and ended with estimated 75 dead and 100 wounded for each side. The Whigs may have prevailed had a messenger from General Griffith Rutherford's not been murdered on his way to Colonel Locke.
