There is nothing in the canon to support this, although it's an 
interesting notion.

Hagrid's father died in 1942, when Rubeus was in his second year at 
Hogwarts.

I invite anyone who's interested to check out the timeline of 
Hagrid's life on the Lexicon (go to Timelines => Character timelines 
=> Rubeus Hagrid). The dates given on there are canon (within our 
assumed time line of Harry born in 1980). I will be revising the 
timelines etc. this summer, so I invite comment and suggestions.
