Thanks to David Chinnis the site where General William Moultrie along with Francis Marion built a redoubt has been confirmed. This was a highly important location during the American Revolution as it was on the road to Charleston and would act as a roadblock to the British advance towards Charleston.
The best part is that Dorchester County already ownes the land and the site will be preserved.
It took years of primary research, site visits, and multiple double checks to confirm this location. Without the support of Chinnis this would not of been possible.
The site now should be able to join the SC Liberty Trail, so that more people can know the important history of Dorchester County in the American Revolution.
