JOHN HARDGRAVE, son of William and Sarah Hardgrave, was born April 30, 1816, at
Port Hope, Canada. When twenty-one years of age he left home and journeyed to
Michigan. Here he dealt in general merchandise until 1852, when he came overland
to this state, arriving in Marysville in October. He farmed in the vicinity
until 1864, when he went to Taylorville and bought the Vernon House of a Mr.
Springer, which hotel he still owns. He was married April 11, 1841, to Miss
Diana Jiles, daughter of Abraham and Nancy Jiles, who was born at Phelps, Wayne
county, New York, February 4, 1823. Four children were born to them: Anna, born
August 18, 1842; Cornelia, March 11, 1843; William, August 24, 1846; Sarah,
December 4, 1849. Anna died November 12, 1843, in Jackson county, Michigan. The
