HASTINGS
GENEALOGY

Recent acquisition of data is causing this page to change a great deal. Stay tuned for updates and improvements.
I will list the earliest ancestor as 1  in order to maintain some consistency with the other families listed in my pages. This will be extended as I learn more.

I have recently determined that I had incorrectly identified the father of Amos8 HASTINGS as Frank7 HASTINGS. The birth record for Amos shows that his father was Jonas HASTINGS. After learning this I connected via GenForum and Genealogy List servers with at least three folks who have various pieces of the line from Amos, through Jonas and for one all the way to John1. I am posting the latest data I can determine, but reserve judgment as far as its authenticity until I can back it all up with acceptable source data. I will reference the sources as I go along, and eventually set up detailed references as I will for all my major families.

Shown below my line as best as I can currently determine, I have included John1 HASTINGS and Walter2 HASTINGS to aid other researchers. Eventually I'd like to add all the HASTINGS data I have gathered and not used.

Why am I putting the data up before I have completely Verified it? I hope to find that this will encourage readers and fellow genealogists to offer conflicting/corrective sources to assist in getting the line correct. This has been a difficult line for me for many years, and it finally seems to be opening up. Any comments, criticism, or corrections regarding this family will be gratefully (for the most part *s*) accepted.

Links within this page, in the tradition of my other web pages, will be added to this family, soon.

I must give thanks here to Wayne McElreavy mac@cyberportal.net ; Debby Donovan DMDonovan@aol.com ; and Charlotte Jones wjones@castles.com for their immense help in researching this family.

Soldiers & Sailors in the War of the Revolution may show him as the John from Cambridge, but this is merely speculation at this point.

Johnson's Reg., which "marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775", for a service of 5 days. The Records of the Mass. Volunteer Militia, by Brigadier General Gardner W. Pearson, 1913, has a listing for Amos Hastings as a private in Capt. J. Patten's Company, Lt. J. Waugh's Regiment, from Sept. 14th to Sept. 24th, 1814, "Raised at Norridgewock. In Camp at Waterville, awaiting orders." Whereas son Jonas5, is born in Maine, there be some connection, perhaps Amos liked what he saw while stationed there.

Children:

61. J. ALBION7, see below.
 

 30.  AMOS6, son of JONAS5,  b. February 16, 1828 at Grantham, NH (or in England, according to a History Of Barnet, VT., by Frederick Palmer Wells. 1923, page 487, hereafter referred to as HOB).

According to Descendants of Henry Hastings (DOHH), from Charlotte Jones, and the marriage record for Bertha5 Hastings, Amos m. Nancy MANCHESTER ca 1850. He m. before 1865 to Nancy L. SAWYER , b. at Brighton, VT (VRs for births of children) or abt 1824 at Island Pond, VT (HOB), (the records conflict here,  she died 31 Dec 1834 at age 53 yrs 6 mos. accord to the gravestone, is buried with her husband).

He enlisted in the Union Army, according to his gravestone and HOB he was a sharpshooter in the 2nd NH Regiment of US Volunteers, Company C, from Enfield NH. HOB notes that he was captured by the Confederates and incarcerated at Libby Prison at the close of the war. This was in Richmond, VA, and was a particularly unsanitary place second in infamy only to Andersonville, among Confederate prisons. From the Civil War Discharge, and records of his application for pension seem to indicate this to be unlikely. These records also seem to indicate Amos had had only one wife, Nancy Sawyer. As I resolve these I will correct this page.

Amos is listed in 1860 Census as age 30, a Scythe Maker, born in NH; listing includes Nancy (age 26, b. VT), John (age 7, b. VT), Rosaline (age 5, b.NH), and Frank (age 3, b. NH).

Amos was a resident of Littleton, NH and Claremont, NH. The Claremont City Directory of 1887 shows him residing at his home on Walnut St. He died at 64 on 19 July 1891 at Claremont, NH and is buried in the Pleasant St. Cemetery, section F, lot 16, very near where daughter Cora lies with husband Edgar E. Lovejoy.

I have completed a transcription of Discharge certificate and applications for disability pension for Amos above. Click here to see these records.

 1.  ROBERT1, son of  ??. It has been suggested that Robert is the son of Walter HASTINGS and grandson of John HASTINGS early settler of Braintree, MA then Cambridge, MA. This seems unlikely if the 12 children shown belonging to Walter in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire, by Noyes, Libby and Davis, (hereafter referred to as GDMNH) are correct. No Robert is shown. In the separate entry for Robert in GDMNH, he is shown in Haverhill, MA where he took the oath of fidelity on 28 Nov 1677. Vital Records (VR) for Haverhill show his marriage to Elizabeth DAVIS on 31 Oct 1676. She was the dtr of James2 DAVIS and Elizabeth EATON, b. 11 Mar 1654 in Haverhill, according to the Haverhill Genealogy Page (http://               ).

7. JOHN2, see below.

8. ESTHER2, 19 Jan 1694.

*WEAK LINK BETWEEN ROBERT3 AND WALTER2 , OBTAINED FROM AN UNVALIDATED GENEALOGY LINE I RECEIVED. GDMNH SHOWS ONLY THE CHILDREN ABOVE LISTED FOR WALTER, AND GIVES ROBERT A SEPARATE ENTRY. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ROBERT IS ACTUALLY THE FIRST SETTLER FOR THE LINE SHOWN, OR A DESCENDANT OF ANOTHER HASTINGS LINE.
