The Battle of Bloody Marsh took place on July 18, 1742 (new style). The battle involved control of the road between the British forts of Frederica and St. Simons, both on St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia. The Province of Georgia later claimed the island, now in the U.S. state of Georgia. The battle took place on the same island and same day as the Battle of Gully Hole Creek.
