October 18, 1781. However, General Cornwallis did not attend the surrender ceremony. Saying that he did feel well, Cornwallis sent a subordinate, General O'Hara. O'Hara tried to surrender to the commander of the French forces, Comte de Rochambeau. De Rochambeau directed the British officer to General Washington, who in turn directed O'Hara to surrender to Washington's subordinate, General Lincoln.
