June 1711 CE
Cary gathers together a larger force and arms a small brigantine with several cannons and sets off to attack Hyde's fortified plantation.
Cary's attack on June 30 is repulsed after the mast of the brigantine is shot and his men flee.
He regroups, fortifying a small island in the Pamlico Sound, and begins to rearm his followers.
Quakers themselves are generally pacifists so it is unlikely that many Quakers took part in the violence themselves but rather that Cary's force was made up of Bath County men and non-Quaker dissenters.
