February 1713: In 1713, Colonel John Barnwell led an expedition against the Tuscarora. This disappointed the North Carolina settlers who had hoped for a complete defeat of the Tuscarora. Barnwell later left for South Carolina, leaving the territory to be incorporated into the Province of North Carolina.
January 1713: South Carolina sent Colonel John Barnwell with a force of 30 white officers and about 500 Native Americans from South Carolina, including Yamasee, Wateree, Congaree, Waxhaw, Pee Dee, and Apalachee. Barnwell's expedition traveled over 300 miles and arrived in January 1712. There the force was supplemented by 50 local militiamen and attacked the Tuscarora, who retreated to Fort Neoheroka in Greene County.
September 1712: They attacked homesteads along the Roanoke, Neuse, and Trent rivers and in the city of Bath beginning on September 22.
January 1713: In 1713, the Southern Tuscarora lost their Fort Neoheroka in Greene County. Following the decisive defeat, many Tuscarora began a migration to New York.
