In 1781, British Gen. Charles Cornwallis ordered cavalry commander Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton to raid Southside Virginia to seize or destroy private and public supplies of ammunition, clothing, and food. On 9 July, Tarleton left Cobham in Surry County. As he later wrote, his force "soon reached Petersburg, advanced to Prince-Edward court house, and thence towards the river Dan.... [After] A halt of two days in Bedford county ....[Tarleton resumed] his march, by a different route, towards the royal army.... [and] joined the King's troops at Suffolk" on 24 July, ending the about 400-mile raid.
