Jonathan (1763) married Mary Gillespe and had two sons, James (1798) and Joshua (1804).
-------------------------
History of Jonathan Harshorne's grandfather:
Jonathan Hartshorne was the son of Dr. David Hartshorn & Rebecca Batchelder. He married Lucy Hempstead. To this union, 6 sons were born.
Jonathan evidently removed from Norwich to Coventry prior to 1714. On 3 March 1714, he and Joshua Hempstead bought a 1/16th interest in a sloop. He removed to Cecil County, Maryland, about 1726 (when his father made his will and decided on his portion). There is no record that he or any of his children ever returned to Norwich except on visits. He was known to have visited his Norwich home in January 1741 and from June 1743 to 1 May 1744 (Hempstead diary).
He purchased an area south and east of West Nottingham (today, the town of Rising Sun) called Cornucopia and Spotswood. He called his homestead New Connaught Manor. It was a two and one-half story brick dwelling surrounded by enormous pine trees. It was located on a hillside and commanded a fine view of the surrounding country. It passed on to a family by the name of Boyd.
Jonathan's name is mentioned in the Maryland rolls of colonial militia. On 15 June 1739, the crown asked Governor Ogle to raise troops for the quasi-war with Spain. Pursuant to this order, troops were raised in Cecil County. Thomas Hartshorn served in the company of Capt. Edward Jackson, while Jonathan and his brother, Benjamin served in another company. (Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. VI, pp. 44-47.)
In 1745, Jonathan apparently attempted to patent 100 acres of land in Cecil County. Records of this and other transactions were lost in the fires that resulted from the burning of the Court House in Elkton during the British invasion of 1777.
From The Diary of Joshua Hempstead: 25 Oct 1720 "I got to brother Hartshorns. Sister Lucy [Jonathan's wife] hath 5 sons (vizt) Joshua, Jonathan, Benjamin, Samll & William." Jun 1737 "An Irish Man come here from Maryland in about a fortnight a Near Neighbor of Brother Harshorns brings News that Brother & Sister are Well & their family & undr good Circumstances to Live." "3 Sons Living the Eldest Jonathan about 21 & te youngest a Daughter Lucy about 13 & well Grown." 27 May 1749 (Journey to Maryland) "I arrived about 8 a clock & found my Sister & her 2 Sons Jonathan & Thomas & her Daughter Lucy all well to my great comfort . .(except her memory failing). July 2nd Sunday "I went to meeting with my 2 Nephews Jonat & Thomas to Nottingham old Presbyterian meeting house where brother Hartshorn & his Sons were buried, about 5 mile. A large house. no workmanship no gallarrys." July 4, ____ "...having taken by Last farewell of my Sister Lucy ..."
