1796
January 2
Birth of Jesse Haston:  The 1850 Federal Census indicates that Jesse (Hasten) was 54 years old at the time of the census.  The census record also says that he was born in Tennessee.  If the 1796 date for Jesse's birth is correct, he was very probably born south of the Holston River, "opposite Knoxville," in Knox County, TN.
Source:  Unknown source for the January 2 birthday.
------------------------
Note:  The death certificate for Jesse's daughter, Anna Eliza Dandridge, makes three interesting, but otherwise unsubstantiated, assertions regarding Jesse:
  • He was a "Captain" of some sort. (Was he a militia captain at some point?)
  • His middle initial was "C." (Apparently his brother Isaac's middle initial also was "C.")
  • He was born in Nashville, Tenn. (This does not fit what we know of Daniel's family.)

December
10 or 12
Married Elizabeth Gillentine:   One unknown source says that Elizabeth Gillentine was born on February 4, 1801.  However, her brother's (John Gillentine's) Bible says that she was born on December 5, 1800.  One unknown source says she was born in McNairy County, TN.  She married Jesse in Van Buren County, TN at the age of 14 (almost 15).  She bore 13 children and died February 2, 1847 in Howard County, MO.
Source:  December 10 date, unknown source;  December 12 date, from page 7 of Howard H. Hasting, Sr.'s unpublished report on his Daniel Haston family research (written in 1954 & revised in 1980)
----
Note:  There is no known historical documentation to prove that Jesse was the son of Daniel Haston.  However:
  1. The circumstantial evidence is strong in favor of this relationship to Daniel.  Jesse married Elizabeth Gillentine.  Nicholas and Jane Elizabeth Terry Gillentine, who had a daughter named Elizabeth that was of the right age to be Jesse's wife, were neighbors to Daniel Haston's family in the early years of White County.  Nicholas Gillentine was a prominent civic leader in White County and was a leader in the Big Fork Baptist Church.
  2. DNA testing has connected a male descendent of Jesse Haston to the Daniel Haston family, with such a high degree of certainty to leave no doubt that Jesse Haston was closely related to Daniel Haston, most probably Daniel's son.

Birth of Jane Haston:  This daughter married Nathaniel Davis on January 3, 1837.  
Source:  Howard County, MO Marriages
----
Note:  The wife of early White County, TN pioneer Nicholas Gillentine was Jane Elizabeth Terry Gillentine or Elizabeth Jane Terry Gillentine.  The fact that Jesse & Elizabeth Haston named their first child "Jane" would seem to indicate that truly she (Jesse's wife) was from the White County, TN Gillentine family that lived very close to Daniel Haston's family.
1818 Moved to Missouri:  The 1894 biographical sketch for Jesse Haston, Jr. (son of the Jesse Haston of this timeline) states that the elder Jesse Haston moved to Missouri from east Tennessee in the year of 1818.

1820 Missouri becomes a state:  "By 1820 Missouri had enough inhabitants--more than 70,000--to become a state.  A thirteen-county area of central Missouri [including Howard County] came to be called Little Dixie but was more akin to Virginia than the Deep South."

Note:  The name of this daughter seems to indicate clearly that Jesse and Elizabeth were living in Missouri by 1820.  Because Missouri was not a state until 1821, there is no1820  Federal Census record available for that area.  Jesse Haston did not appear on the 1820 White County, TN Federal Census record.

Birth of Ida Litia HastonThis daughter was born in Glasgow, MO and married Edmund J.
