In Revolutionary times, Nancy Morgan Hart lived on Wahatche (War Woman) Creek with her husband, Benjamin, and their children. Six feet tall and notable for strength and courage, she was a staunch patriot, a deadly shot, a skilled doctor, and a good neighbor. As a spy for the colonists, she is credited with capturing several Tories. Later she joined her son John and his family in a wagon train to Henderson County, Kentucky, where she is buried. Hart County, the Nancy Hart Highway, and schools in Elbert and Hart Counties bear her name.
