Sept. 9, 1596, son of William Hargreaves, alias Hart, and his second wife Aloysia, of Burnley, both of good lineage, and allied with the Townelevs, Banisters, and other ancient Lancashire families.

Gulielmo Harto, alias Hargravio, Presbytero Anglo, patria Lancastrensi, sacra theologiæ et philosophic variis in academiis professori, postremo vero in pontificio Romanæ Sapientiæ studio, quo in munere post diuturnos ad Dei obsequium labores, carceres etiam ærumnas pro fide in Angli toleratas, pie mortem obiit, xiiii Calendas Januarii MDCLX, ætatis suæ anno lxiiii.

In his declaration upon entering the college at Rome he says that he had four brothers, one a Father of the Society, and two sisters.

James was reconciled to the Church in Framlingham prison by a priest named Robt. Woodroffe, one of the Woodroffes of Bank Top, near Burnley, who were allied with the Hargreaves family. He went to Douay College, matriculated in the Douay University in 1602, and proceeded to the English College at Rome, where he was admitted Oct. 6, 1603, and received minor orders in Aug. and Nov., 1604. He is not found in the Collectanea S.J.

Hart, abbess of the Bridgettine nuns of Syon, when the Community removed from Rouen to Lisbon, and Sister Margerie Hart, who died at Syon, July 23, 1628, were probably aunts to William Hargeaves.
