| Holding off the Tories. |
Nancy Morgan Hart
Well known as a patriot spy, Hart's most famous act of courage began when a group of Tories appeared at her cabin, demanding to know the location of a certain Whig leader.
Hart fed the men, and plied them with wine. After the feeling of intoxication began to take over, Hart inconspicuously began to take their weapons.

Hart ultimately shot two of the Tories who discovered what she was doing, and held the others captive until help arrived.
