Elijah Clark and the Battle of Kettle CreekMorale throughout the colonies was at an all-time low. Finally, in February 1779, Georgia had a victory. A rebel militia group led by Col. Elijah Clarke defeated a force of more than 800 British troops at the Battle of Kettle Creek, about 8 miles from Washington, Georgia.

The Battle of Kettle Creek
was minor compared
to those who fought in other
parts of the country. It was,
however, important to
Georgia.

The militia was able to take badly needed weapons and horses from the British soldiers, and the spirits of the Georgia militia were lifted by their victory.

Austin DabneyDabney, a freeborn mulatto of mixed parentage, was one of
the men who followed Col. Clarke at Kettle
Creek. He arrived with Richard
Aycock in Georgia just before the war
.

Aycock was a white North Carolinian and was not known for his bravery. Instead of joining the
Georgia militia himself, he proposed that Dabney take
his place.

After much discussion on whether or not Dabney was free or a slave, he was accepted. He proved to be a good soldier at Kettle Creek and was wounded in action. A family named Harris cared for him while
he healed.

After the Revolutionary War, veterans were given plots of land as part payments for their military service. Many didn’t want Dabney to get his veteran’s share of land.

Gov. George Gilmer and some members of the Georgia
legislature praised Dabney as a patriot. After
months of debate, Dabney received a valuable piece
of land in Madison County.

When he moved to his new home, he took the Harris
family with him. Together they made the land profitable.
Austin Dabney died in 1834, fifty-five years after the Battle
of Kettle Creek.

Nancy HartAround 1771, Benjamin and Nancy Hart and their 8 children settled 12 miles outside of what is now Elberton. A much repeated legend involves the Harts and their neighbor, Col. John Dooley.

A few days after Dooley’s murder, the
5 Tories who killed him stopped
by the Harts and demanded that she cook dinner for them. Nancy overheard them bragging about
the murder.

Nancy brought out a jug of whiskey for the men while Nancy motioned for her daughters to go for help. Meanwhile, Nancy took their rifles as she served them their meal.

When one of the men finally noticed and rushed Nancy, she shot and killed him. She held the rest at gunpoint until help arrived.

The rest of the soldiers were put on trial and hanged. Hart

the only county in Georgia named for a woman.

found out how their representatives had voted or
even what the Declaration said.

from reaching it.
