TROOP MOVEMENTS AND CAMP
Prince William militia opened a road nearby in preparation for the Yorktown Campaign of 1781. French and American calvary [sic], wagon trains, and cattle unable to use the ferry at Woodbridge, traveled this road, fording the river at Wolf Run Shoals, on the way to Dumfries. The same road was used by Confederate and Union forces, and the 6th N.C. Infantry quartered near here during the winter of 1861-1862.
