I don't think there's any basis for portraying him as killing women, children, or prisoners en masse as in the "hospital" scene.

The link I posted said "he never spared prisoners" (but I don't remember "the 'hospital' scene", so I could be making a bad comparison).

I haven't seen anything about women and children yet.

There's this, though:

As a leader of the cavalry, many British historians consider him to be one of the most dynamic of his day, but it’s his horrid treatment of civilians and soldiers in the South that dominates his legacy. Ironically, he has been largely forgotten in British history, but was so hated in the South that he's still very much remembered in Revolutionary history.
