His middle name may have been Wooding, for his maternal grandfather Robert Wooding Chappell. If his birth yr. was 1821 and not 1820, he was born early in that year; a sister was born in December of 1821.
This man was likely the Captain R. W. Hargrove who headed a Confederate cavalry company during the Civil War, in Brown's regiment of the 35th Texas Cavalry.* Wikipedia's list of Texas Confederate units shows another name for Hargrove's Company: Hood's Guerrillas.
Robert was said to have died in Mexico in 1910 (at approximately age 90). His younger brother John A. Hargrove's 1903 biography, transcribed on RootsWeb (which contains a number of typos) said, with regard to his brother Robert W: "...who is if still alive, in Cerralue, Mexico." I interpreted Cerralue to be Cerralvo, in the state of Nuevo Leon - which borders Texas. J.A. Hargrove's biography was found at:
