Well, imagine my surprise to see one of MY surnames right here! I have a collateral branch - Sanders William Hartshorne possibly born in 1803 in Norfolk, VA. He's buried in the Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati along with a large number of my direct descendants. What a nice way to start my research day!!

I am descended from Thomas Hartshorn's second wife, Sarah Ayer(s) and their son Timothy.
