Mark Boatner says that the Americans took 194 prisoners during the battle, while the remaining 6 "missing" men may have been killed.

George Washington claimed that the British had more than 100 killed and 300 captured. William S. Stryker follows Washington in stating that the British loss was 100 men killed, 70 wounded and 280 captured
