Historical Marker For the Battle of Spencer’s Ordinary

One of three markers in this spot, I think that the most important is the one noting the Battle of Spencer’s Ordinary. The «Ordinary» is a tavern not far away. The marker reads:
On this road, four miles south, the action of Spencer’s Ordinary was fought, June 24, 1781, between detachments from Lafayette and Cornwallis’s armies.
The Wikipedia entry has more information:
The Battle of Spencer’s Ordinary was an inconclusive skirmish that took place on 26 June 1781, late in the American Revolutionary War. British forces under Lieutenant Colonel John Graves Simcoe and American forces under Colonel Richard Butler, light detachments from the armies of General Lord Cornwallis and the Marquis de Lafayette respectively, clashed near a tavern (the «ordinary») at a road intersection not far from Williamsburg, Virginia.
Lafayette had been shadowing Cornwallis as he moved his army toward Williamsburg from central Virginia. Aware that Simcoe had become separated from Cornwallis, he sent Butler out in an attempt to cut Simcoe off. Both sides, concerned that the other might be reinforced by its main army, eventually broke off the battle.
There are two other markers. The Six-​Mile Ordinary, which denotes a resolution not to import British goods in 1774 and to declare their support for independence two years later. The Green Spring notes the home of Governor Berkeley and that it was a base for British General Cornwallis, attacked by French forces under General Lafayette that were loyal to the Colonists.
Never forget!
