The American Wagon Train camped here on its way to Williamsburg on 28/29 September 1781. French forces under comte de Rochambeau camped here July 7-10, 1782, their seventh camp since departure from Williamsburg, Virginia, on July 1, 1782. The Legion departed winter quarters in Charlotte Courthouse on June 10, 1782, for Amelia Courthouse. Petersburg was reached on June 17; on July 1, it departed via Richmond on July 5, 1782, to its Camp 1 two miles past Littlepage’s Bridge. Here Lauzun’s and Rochambeau’s routes merge; Lauzun’s camp for July 5/6 is more or less identical to that of Rochambeau’s infantry from July 8-11, 1782, Camp 7 (north).
