Joseph Priestly Hargrave was born in Union County, Illinois, where he grew up and attended school. He was the son of Robert Hargrave, Jr., and Catherine Nancy Hunsaker. He was living with his parents and siblings in Union County in September 1850 (1850 US Census). As a young man he traveled west to California in early 1851. In July 1860 he was an artist living at Gibsonville in Sierra County and studying to become a lawyer (1860 US Census). He was 31 years old when he was appointed and mustered as a first lieutenant into Captain Henry M. Benson's Company F, 1st California Infantry, at San Francisco August 16, 1861. He was promoted to captain to command Company C, same regiment, by the Governor of California, with a date-of-rank of April 28, 1862, to replace Captain William McMullen, who had been promoted to major. Captain Hargrave mustered out at Los Pinos, New Mexico Territory, August 31, 1864. He remained in Arizona where he became a lawyer and opened a practice at Prescott in Yavapai County (1870, 1880 US Census). He married the widow Mrs. Jane "Jennie" P. Wardner (1846, VT-1897, CA) at Wickenburg, Maricopa County, February 15, 1878. He returned to California about 1883 and continued to practice law and became a judge in San Bernardino County. There were no children from his marriage to Jennie. A pension record was not found and his widow married (3) W. W. Bass in Los Angeles County, May 20, 1893. The following year Jennie married (4) John W. Z. Boynton in Riverside County, October 19, 1894. --- FORT WINGATE, N. MEX., September 8, 1863. SIR: I have the honor to report that, pursuant to Orders, Numbers 72, current series, from headquarters Fort Wingate, dated August 21, 1863, I left this post on the 22nd ultimo with 44 men of my company [C], First Infantry, California Volunteers, on our expedition against the Navajoes [sic]. According to instructions, I proceed to the Zuni villages with wagons; reached that place on the 25th, a distance of 75 miles. At Zuni, I left the wagons, extra animals, and stores in charge of a guard, consisting of Sergeant [Elias W.] Boone and 3 men, and started the next morning, 26th instant, with pack-mules for the Little Colorado, going via the Ojo Venado; reached the river on the 28th, the distance being about 65 miles. The next morning started up the river, keeping well into the hills to avoid being seen. Having gone about 10 miles, saw a party of Indians on the river, perhaps 40 in number. We approached cautiously and unobserved to within about 2,000 yards, and seeing that, from the nature of the ground, it was impossible to get closer without coming in plain view, we made a run for them, but as they had not unsaddled their horses, they mounted and got off before we got within gunshot of them. We pursued them several miles, but to no purpose; they, being well mounted, soon left us in the distance. We then scoured the country for several miles around, and captured about 500 head of sheep; saw a few Indians, but failed to get within shooting distance. In the afternoon met and joined Captain Rafael Chacon, First New Mexico Volunteers, whom I deem the proper person to report the further proceedings of the expedition. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. P. HARGRAVE Captain, First Infantry, California Volunteers. --- J. P. Hargrave is no better and news from the sick room is that he is near death's door, and it is doubtful as to whether he can live through the night. (The Daily Courier [San Bernardino, CA], Dec. 11, 1891; 3:4) --- There is very little change in the condition of Judge Hargrave. (The Daily Courier [San Bernardino, CA], Dec. 12, 1891; 1:7) --- Judge Hargrave is still in a very precarious condition. (The Daily Courier [San Bernardino, CA], Dec. 13, 1891; 1:7) --- JUDGE HARGRAVE DEAD. Judge J. P. Hargrave died yesterday after a brief illness. Judge Hargrave has been a resident of our city for a long time and has been an honorable and much-respected lawyer. His partner, Mr. R. E. Bledsoe, has promised The Courier a biographical sketch of the deceased, which we hope will appear in our next issue. His funeral takes place today at 2 p.m. from his late residence. The Courier extends to his bereaved wife its heartfelt sympathy. (The Daily Courier [San Bernardino, CA], Dec. 15, 1891; 1:7) --- The funeral of the late Hon. Joseph P. Hargrave took place from his residence on Fourth street at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The remains were followed to the cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. The pall-bearers were Adam Fussell, Hugh Smith, W. F. Holcomb, Marcus Katz, Col. A. B. Paris and Thos. J. Wilson, Sr. (The Daily Courier [San Bernardino, CA], Dec. 16, 1891; 1:7)
