Description

Woman's Club of Newport News, Virginia sign: Skirmish at Waters Creek reads Capt. Edward Waters gave his name to Waters Creek when patented land here in 1624. In the spring of 1781 a force of 30 mounted militia led by Capt. Edward Mallory repulsed a British foraging party loaded with plunder near the mouth of the creek. In a running battle the Virginians pursued the enemy to Newport News Point. Here they regained their boats, but left mortally wounded Capt. Brown behind.
