HEROINE OF GEORGIA
NANCY HART
1 1/2 mile.
"On Wahatche (WarWoman) Creek, in Revolutionary times lived Nancy Morgan Hart, her husband, Benjamin, and their children. Six feet tall, masculine in strength and courage, Nancy Hart was a staunch patriot, a deadly shot, a skilled doctor, and good neighbor.
"A spy for the colonists, she is credited with capturing several Tories. Later, her son, John, and her family, she joined a wagon train to Henderson County, Kentucky, where she is buried.
"Hart County, the Nancy Hart Highway, and schools in Elbert and Hart Counties are named for her. A replica of her log home, with chimney stones from the original, is in Nancy Hart Park, 1 1/2 miles from here."
