The Georgia legislature, without any real precedent, granted Georgia's first divorce in 1793. The state constitution of 1798 required a divorce law to be enacted and the first in a series of such legislation was passed on Dec. 1, 1802. Divorces under these early acts were tried before local Ga. Co. superior courts and if approved by jury there, still had to be approved individually by the Ga. Legislature. Beginning with act of Dec. 5, 1806, in total divorces" the party whose improper or criminal conduct shall authorize such divorce, shall not be permitted to marry again during the life of the other party: or would be guilty of bigamy. Eventually the legislature became swamped with petitions for final divorces. With the constitutional amendment of 1833 the legislature attempted to get out to the divorce situation by allowing divorces to be granted after approval by 2 local superior court juries. The divorce related petitions continued to appear before the legislature, however. Many of the guilty parties in the divorces petitioned for the right to remarry legally and many married women requested the right to own property or to conduct business without divorcing their husbands. An act of Oct. 5 1868 removed all penalties and restrictions imposed by divorces and the State Constitution of 1868 supposedly made Ga. the first state to extend feme sole to all of the state's married women. To access these records check with the Georgia Department of Archives.

A brief history of Georgia's Warwoman When grading crews went out that fateful day in 1912 to work on the Elberton and Eastern Railroad, they could not know the effect they were about to have on Georgia History. These men were about to prove that a Georgian by the name of Nancy "Warwoman" Hart actually existed. Near a piece of property she once owned they uncovered the grave of six men from the late 1700's, probably British, and changed the way America viewed a woman whose exploits had grown to mythical proportions. The first story about Nancy Hart appeared in the Milledgeville Southern Recorder in 1825. "One day six Tories paid Nancy a call and demanded a meal. She soon spread before them smoking venison, hoe-cakes, and fresh honeycomb. Having stacked their arms, they seated themselves, and started to eat, when Nancy quick as a flash seized one of the guns, cocked it, and with a blazing oath declared she would blow out the brains of the first mortal that offered to rise or taste a mouthful! She sent one of her sons to inform the Whigs of her prisoners. Whether uncertain because of her cross-eyes which one she was aiming at, or transfixed by her ferocity, they remained quiet. The Whigs soon arrived and dealt with the Tories according to the rules of the times." Over the years many historians began to debunk the stories of Nancy Hart. Finding the grave so close to Hart property gave the story such creedence that today it is accepted as historical fact. On the northeast border with South Carolina, Hart County is the only county in Georgia named for a woman.
