WarWoman

            WarWomans Creek in Rabun County, Georgia. Starts three miles east of Clayton and flows easterly to the Chattooga River. The creek name came from an honored titled among the Cherokee. It was their custom to take a woman along on war parties, primarily to cook and sew, but when one proved her mettle on several expeditions, she was given the designation War Woman. We don’t know which specific woman was referred to because the Warwoman Creek has held that name for more than 200 years. While nothing is certain, the legends associated with Warwoman Creek 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. Nancy Ward was born in the Cherokee town of Chota and was a member of the Wolf Clan. Her mother, whose actual name is not known, is often called Tame Doe and was a sister of Attakullakulla. Her father was probably part Delaware, also known as the Lenape. Her first husband was the Cherokee man Kingfisher. Nanyehi and Kingfisher fought side by side at the Battle of Taliwa against the Creeks in 1755. When he was killed, she took up his rifle and led the Cherokee to victory. This was the action which, at the age of 18, gave her the title of Ghigau. War Woman ! Nancy Ward and her husband Kingfisher had two children, Catherine and Fivekiller. Nancy then married Bryant Ward, a South Carolina colonist and Indian trader, In the revolutionary War, Ward warned the whites of an impending attack by Dragging Canoe, an act that has made her a Patriot for the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
