The answer below did not give an exact date. The answer came from Wikipedia under the heading of Prudence Island, Rhode Island.

In colonial times, the island was used mainly for farming. During the American Revolution, the British forces under Captain James Wallace raided Prudence Island for livestock and engaged in a skirmish with American forces, losing approximately a dozen soldiers.
