The left of the Triplett Beaty battalion was to be opposite Howard's right, but 100 yards in its rear; "its right extending toward the foe, so as to be opposite or parallel with the second line."

27. Ibid. The Augusta riflemen's left wing was pulled back about 100 yards to the rear of Howard's right flank, and their left was thrown forward, "so as to bring it nearly parallel" with the Continentals' left.

Morgan reported that McDowell was on the right and Cunningham on the left, while Colonels Brannon and Thomas of the South Carolinian militia were posted on McDowell's right, and Colonels Hays and McCall of the same corps were on Cunningham's left. Colonel Hammond of the South Carolinian militia reported that from right to left Pickens' line was held by Cunningham, McDowell, Hammond, and Donnolly. As Hammond made his notes at the time of the deployment, I feel that his report is more accurate as he was more intimately connected with the South Carolinian militia than Morgan.
