He was the eldest son of Joseph Short-house, chemical manufacturer, and Mary Ann, daughter of John Hawker, of the same town.
He will always remain known to fame as " the author of John Inglesant." Shorthouse was originally a Quaker, but the appeal of the Anglican Church was insistent with him, and he was baptized into its body before the appearance of his story.
Something of his own stress of religious transition appears in the character of his hero, who is pictured as living in the time of the Civil War, a pupil of the Jesuits, a philosopher and a Platonist, who is yet true to the National Church.

 Shorthouse Coat of Arms
The Anglo-Saxon name Shorthouse comes from its first bearer, who was a person who was given the nickname of Short-hose, due to the fact that this individual wore half hose which reached the top of the knee, rather than covering the whole leg.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Thomas Shorthouse who arrived in Philadelphia in 1797; another Thomas Shorthouse arrived in New York in 1822; Michael Shortis settled in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland in 1845.
It is hard to say exactly when man first came to the lands that were to become the British Isles, but it can be said with certainty that Paleolithic tribes were flourishing there by 8000 BC.
