Ciidamada Badda ee Boqortooyada Ingiriiska, iyagoo kaashanaya xubnaha Daacad ka ah dowladda gumeysiga ee uu hoggaaminayo Guddoomiye Josiah Martin, waxay qorsheeyeen duulaan ku wajahan Waqooyiga Carolina meel u dhow Wilmington, deked ku taal gobolka Cape Fear. Cutubyada Highlander ee Cross Creek waxaa lagu amray inay ku biiraan cutubyada ciidamada Ingiriiska, kuwaas oo General Thomas Gage uu damacsanaa inuu ka soo dego North Carolina. Moore wuxuu hogaamiyay taliskiisa wabiga korkiisa ee xeebta koonfureed ee Cape Fear wuxuuna xoojiyay webiga oo ka gudbaya Rockfish Creek, taas oo noqon lahayd wadada ugu tooska ah ee Loyalists ee Wilmington. Goobtan, Moore wuxuu sii waday inuu ururiyo xoojinta, ugu dambeyntiina wuxuu amar ku bixiyay qiyaastii 1,100 nin. Brigadier General Donald MacDonald, oo hogaaminayay ciidanka millatariga ee qiyaastii 1,500 oo Highlanders ah, ayaa ergey u diray Moore, isaga oo dalbanaya inuu ku biiro sababaha Loyalist ama uu la kulmo weerar. Moore, oo dib u dhigay jawaabtiisa si uu waqti u helo, ayaa ugu dambeyntii diiday dalabkaas, asal ahaan wuxuu ugu yeeray MacDonald bluff. MacDonald, oo ay raggiisu ka maqnaayeen niyad jabka iska horimaad degdeg ah, ayaa helay war ah in maleeshiyada Caswell lagu amray inay ku biiraan Moore. MacDonald wuxuu dareemay in waqtigii uu dhamaaday, MacDonald ayaa dib u noqday, wuxuuna hogaamiyay kooxda Loyalist ee ka fogaatay Moore ilaa ay ka gudubto wabiga.
