Peter and hannha and these two youngsters removed to Knox Co Ky for a short spell where peters brother John Hart and his fam had been for two or three years.
Peters brother Stephen had married the previous year and accompanied his brother Peter to Ky, These writers believed the James Hart living in Knox Co was indeed borther to John, Peter, and Stephen> Note Peter did not sell his land back in Ashe CO.
PEter is on tax list in Knox Co in 1807 along with Stephen.

Peters brother John Hart and Permelia Morgan apparetnly found Knox to their liking and remained in Knox but Peter and Stephen returned to AShe CO, NC by the fall of 1807 when he sold a piece of property on Prathers in Sept 1807.
Subsequently Peter and stephen are on the

A list of freeholders in 1776 in orange NC included James Hart, Jr; Peter Hart, sstephen Hart, John Hart, Joseph Hart and Samuel hart.
early settlers on the New River system included a Charles Hart whom had surveyed land inMontgomery co prior to 1746.The same article shows a list of land grants in the same New Rier some 30 years later in 1778.
The list includes a grant held by Owen Sizemore with the "prior Occupant or claimant" listed as JAMES HART > this is likely the bother of Peter Hart Sr.
