Near this spot and in the late stages of the engagement, Ferguson,
riddled with at least eight balls, fell from his white charger. One
battle account states that one of these balls was fired by Robert Young,
who is reported to have said in referring to his rifle, as he took aim
and fired at Ferguson: “I’ll try and see what Sweet-Lips can do.” The
small marker stands where the British commander is believed to have been
mortally wounded.
