The name may be from English Hartson from hartsthorne or German Hartzon from
hertzog meaning fealty to a duke.
Some spelling variations are Hartsough, Hartsong, Hartstrong, Hartstronge,
Hartsonge, Heartsong, Heartsronge, Hardsong, Hartson, Heartson, Hartstonge,
Hartstong, Hedstrong, Headstrong, Eartstron, Artstrong, Eartsrong and many
more.
Given this amount of variation it would be an enourmous task to research all
the them for that spelling. Hartsong may be a modern variant spelling.
Herefordshire parish registers look like they begin post period.
The IGI isn't very reliable for an individual name for SCA or genealogy
research.
