William is a son of Peter and Dority Hart.
William and Mary's graves have not been found and are assumed to be on his former land in the Big Poor Valley where he lived for many years after he and his family left Ashe County NC.
1801 - William Hart, State Grant # 137, 50 ac Crab Fork of Prators Creek, Ashe County NC. entered 29 Apr. 1799, adjoining land owned by James Hart, that we assume was his Uncle and Joseph Caldwell.
1802, William sold his land on Crab Fork and in 1805 bought 150 acres on the Hart Branch on Brushy Fork, that is also a branch of Prather's Creek. William and his growing family appear on the 1810 and 1820 Ashe County, North Carolina census.
