    From Will Smith: "In Anson Co. NC, a deed by conveyance dated October 11, 1774, Reuban Phillips and his wife sold land in Anson County to Henry Hargett.  Another deed dated October 27, 1777, indicated that Micajah Pickett of South Carolina sold 100 acres, northeast of the Pee Dee River, to William Pickett of Anson County. The land is described as 'adjoining 100 acres of Henry Hargett'.  Between 1777 and 1782, John owned a farm in Mecklenburg Co., NC, on Richardson's Creek. He received another fifty acres on Richardson's Creek by a state grant entered on October 23, 1790, and issued July 9, 1794. The 1790 census recorded Henry Hargett as head of household with six males under the age of sixteen and two females. In 1800 his household included three sons under ten years of age, two sons ten to fifteen, one daughter under ten, three daughters between ten and fifteen. Both Henry and Anna were over 45 years of age. He had no slaves in 1790 or 1800.

    Henry's Hargett, Jr's will was dated 12/25/1825, Mecklenburg Co., NC.  He left his beloved wife Anna Hargett all his household furnishing and the stock of all kinds and tools of agriculture until her death or widowhood.  He left Daniel Harget, his son, the plantation where he was living in 1825, after his wife should die.
