context_page_description: Francisco's Fight is the name commonly given to an alleged skirmish between a detachment of Tarleton's Raiders and Peter Francisco, a Continental Army soldier with a long service record, during the American Revolutionary War in July 1781. The skirmish, which is only known to be documented by Francisco, resulted in the death of at least one man and the wounding of several others.
  Later historical accounts of the skirmish embellished the story with details not present in the documentary record.
context_section_description: In 1931 the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a marker at the approximate site of the skirmish.  It is located in the vicinity of the community of Jennings Ordinary.
  There is a state historical marker commemorating the event; according to Mark Boatner's Landmarks of the American Revolution (1992 ed.), it is located on U.S. Route 360, six miles south of Burkeville and about five miles due west of the site formerly occupied by Ward's tavern.
