On July 17, 1781, British forces under Col. Coates, retreating from Moncks Corner, encountered pursuing Americans under Gen. Thomas Sumter at Quenby Bridge. After the destruction of the bridge, Col. Coates sought refuge under cover of the buildings at Quenby Plantation, where that afternoon he defeated an attack by the Americans. Those who fell in this engagement are said to have been buried near the road.
