Battle of Lower Bridge
Inscription
Gen. Francis Marion and his men defeated the British at this place in March 1781. Advancing from the west and finding the bridge on fire, the enemy rushed the nearby ford, but here they were repulsed by troops led by John James, Thomas Potts, and William McCottry and forced to abandon their plan to invade Williamsburg.
Sponsored by the Margaret Gregg Gordon Chapter, D. A. R., and erected by Williamsburg County, 1958
