Abstract:

Tazewell Lee Hargrove, born April 6, 1830, was the Lieutenant Colonel of the 44th North Carolina Troops. Although war reports vary, it is believed that with a company of only eighty men, Hargrove defended the South Anna Bridge for four hours against a Yankee force of 1500. The bridge was ultimately captured by the Yankees. Hargrove is buried in Townsville.
