Dudley Hargrove was an unlicensed Methodist Preacher and became a historic character in 1819 when he went from the Tuscaloosa Quarterly Conference to the Tennessee Conference at Nashville, October 1, 1819. He was one among others expected to be ordained as Ministers but this
Conference was pronounced in its standing against slavery and these men were slave owners, so they were rejected. Five years afterward, Mr. Taylor, one of these men was taken into the Conference, but Dudley Hargrove did not live to receive this correction. Family data states that Dudley Hargrove killed 23 bears in Pickens Coiinty, also that he served in the Revolutionary War, though nothing has been found to that effect. In the Methodist records, it is stated that all of Dudley Hargrove's children - except Benjamin came to Pickens County with him from Georgia.
