AUGUST 3, 1814: A British force attempting to destroy American supply depots at Black Rock and Buffalo, New York, is defeated at Conjocta Creek (Wikipedia refers to it as a skirmish, Historic Places calls it a battle).
The depots contain stores used to support Fort Erie where American Major General Jacob Brown and his troops have retreated after the Battle of Lindy's Lane.
