1747 - Spanish Attack on Beaufort, NC

Joseph Fulford, Sr., private in Col. Lovick's Regiment, was on duty on 26 Aug 1747 when Beaufort was taken by the Spanish.

Joseph Fulford, Jr., private in Col. Lovick's Regiment, was also on duty on 26 Aug 1747. He was also on duty on 1 Sept 1747 and again on 10 Sept 1747.

Evidently, neither was imprisoned or otherwise harmed during this attack. Can anyone fill in the details?
