Dear Pat Hoffman, Thank you for your most interesting information. I had not been able to provide what I suspected, namely that Peter Hargett was the son of Frederick Hargett. Obviously one is always looking for important relatives and I had hoped to connect a lot of us Kornegays to Frederick Hargett. Frederick Hargett was as I recall the chairman of the sub-committee of the Board of Trustees of the new University of North Carolina that was charged with literally finding a location for the school. It was Frederick Hargett that lead his sub-committee into the woods, so to speak, to come up with Chapel Hill as the spot. As William S. Powell describes in his THE FIRST STATE UNIVERSITY A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA,1972, "During the first week in November [1792], Frederick Hargett, Alexander Mebane, James Hogg, William Hill, David Stone, and Willie Jones visited a number of sites ... and on November 5 they 'proceeded to View New Hope Chapel hill in Orange County'" Frankly I have been just as interested in the Frederick Hargett connection as the Thomas Savage one.
