| Abner Nash was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and moved to North Carolina twenty-three years later. He was elected to the North Carolina General Assembly from Halifax County. When he was elected Governor in 1780, the state lacked good defense from the Tories and was facing chaos from the weakness of the state constitution. During his short administration, Cornwallis was defeated by guerrilla forces at King's Mountain. | |||||
