The following Hartshorns are the focus of this study:

6. Thomas HARTSHORN, b. ~1745, in Cecil Co., MD census, 1790. Dead end?

My goal is to sort out all these folks and connect the dots.The links above consist of material I have accumulated over the years. Some of this information wasn't available when I published my book.

I tried to set up a "Guest Book" but that didn't work, so if you have any comments, write me at
