Warwoman Dell
Warwoman Dell is a wooded valley or dell located east of Clayton, Georgia, United States, in Rabun County. Name Warwoman Dell and the ''Warwoman Creek'', which flows through the valley, are named after a woman that the Cherokee called ''"warwoman."'' There is some degree of controversy as to which of two women from Georgia known as ''"warwoman"'' is the namesake. Some assert that the area is named after Nancy Hart, while others argue that Nancy Ward was the warwoman. Nancy Hart (a Revolutionary War era woman) was a resident of what is now Elbert County, Georgia and is the person after whom Hart County, Georgia is named. While nothing is certain, the legends associated with Warwoman Dell seem to more closely match the legends associated with Nancy Ward. That, coupled with the fact that Rabun County was once part of the Cherokee Nation, suggests that Nancy Ward is the namesake for Warwoman Dell and Warwoman Creek.
