Washington and Rochambeau arrive in Williamsburg. Washington finds that almost all of his troops are now in camp, along with the first French division.
In the coming days Washington requests that Rochambeau send Duc de Lauzun and his 300 cavalry to Gloucester to support Brigadier General George Weedon and his 1500 militia. Lauzun also takes 800 marines with him. (Weedon's headquarters was about 4 miles from "The Point" at Seawell's Ordinary, which operates to this day.)
