Ebenezer HARTSHORN

• Name	Ebenezer HARTSHORN
  Birth	8 Jun 1702	Norwich, New London, CT   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	From Derick Hartshorn, p. 50: 'Ebenezer is the best known of all the Norwich Hartshorns. As Justice of the Peace, he performed most of the marriages in that locality for more than thirty years. As Town Clerk the records are in his handwriting for a very long period and he is responsible for their careful arrangement. The old Probate files in the State Library at Hartford contain many wills drawn in his hand; he apparently did such work for a large acquaintance. Most contemporary files have Ebenezer as appraiser, witness, or executor. He met his future wife, Miriam Gregory, at the home of her aunt, Mrs Johanna Rudd of Norwich. He was described as 'talented,' she as 'accomplished.' ... In extreme age, he felt an urge to write a genealogy for the instruction of posterity. Therefore at ninety-one years he made the poem which his descendants still cherish.'
