The Little Egg Harbor massacre took place in New Jersey during the American Revolution.
The massacre has been little studied in modern times, and the exact date it took place appears to have been forgotten; most modern sources state that it took place in October, 1778.
The massacre took place shortly after the Battle of Chestnut Neck, a British raid aimed at suppressing privateers who used the area as a base to harass and seize British ships and their cargoes.
