On April 1, at sundown, a band of Loyalists surrounded Farrow Station and posted several guards to prevent any reinforcements from being called. Farrow Station was an outpost located between the Edisto and Tyger Rivers. It was the home of Landon Farrow, who was being held prisoner by the British. Lt. Thomas Farrow, brother of Landon, was in command of the Patriot detachment at the station. Farrow had his men barricade the doors and began firing at the Loyalists until midnight.
On April 2, early in the morning, the Loyalists tried to burn down the station but were unsuccessful. Seeing that the standoff would continue, both sides held a parley. The Loyalists stated that they would leave if Farrow would supply them with arms and ammunition. Being outnumbered and surrounded, farrow did not have any other choice and agreed to the request.
After the Loyalists left, Farrow gathered his men and pursued the Loyalists. They caught up with the Loyalists at Bryant's Mill.
