Also see . . . Nancy Hart (New Georgia Encyclopedia). Excerpt:
Georgias most acclaimed female participant during the Revolutionary War (1775-83) was Nancy Hart. A devout patriot, Hart gained notoriety during the revolution for her determined efforts to rid the area of Tories, English soldiers, and British sympathizers. Her single-handed efforts against Tories and Indians in the Broad River frontier, as well as her covert activities as a patriot spy, have become the stuff of myth, legend, and local folklore.(Submitted on October 8, 2022, by Cosmos Mariner of Cape Canaveral, Florida.)
