He was the son of John Hartshorn Sr. and Ruth Swan. He married Hannah Frame on 16 March 1696 in Salisbury (now Amesbury), Massachusetts. In 1950 his double stone was broken, but indicated that a woman named Joanna was also buried there. This researcher also found his gravestone in 2003 near his grandfather, Robert Swan's marker, and the other half indeed referred to a Joanna, but the words giving her relationship were broken off, and the second line read, "John Hartshorne," indicating a relationship with him. It appears she may have been his step mother and they were both killed during the great Indian massacre of that year. John's gravestone stated that he died on August 29 1708 (old calendar year) at age 36 years. John's wife, Hannah, survived the Indian raid and later married William Smith.
