The Heritage of Daniel Haston
 

The Daniel Haston Family
By Howard H. Hasting, Sr.

 
This material is a summary of the findings of Howard H. Hasting, Sr., from the research that he conducted in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, & 1970s.  We present it here as a tribute to the enduring contribution that Mr. Hasting made to all of us who are, in some way, related to the vast extended family of Daniel Haston.  "Thanks," to Nelda Hastings for re-typing the document for this web site.  

Later research, since Mr. Hasting wrote this report in 1980, has uncovered new information that clarifies and, in some cases, contradicts some of what was known about the Haston family at an earlier stage of our family's research.  Please cross reference information in this section with the other information available on this, The Heritage of Daniel Haston, web site.

PREFACE 

          My family, like most who followed closely behind the advancing frontier, made no record of vital statistics, other than that entered in the family bibles or upon grave markers. Those so made--never adequate--have suffered from the ravages of unavoidable casualty and the erosion of time. Marriage, probate and deed records that might have supplemented these meager records have been destroyed by fire in many cases, as an incident of the Civil War. After that war, the confederates, fearing reprisals, attempted to destroy all of their personnel records; but some were captured and may be found in the Archives in Washington. Some of the early United States census reports were consumed when the British burned the Capitol during the War of 1812; others were burned while stored years later in an old warehouse in the capitol city. The personnel records of the Revolution, as might be expected, were extremely brief and incomplete; but some have found in the Archives. The ports of entry kept inadequate records --if any-- prior to the Revolution. And, worst of all, most frontier families did not have the benefit of public schools; and as a result, most members of those families could not read or write, and therefore wrote no letters.
          The foregoing, will serve to explain why I have been unable to find any reliable record of the family prior to 1808. I have made a diligent search of the records available. The facts recorded here are supported by records and/or the testimony of living witnesses. The context will indicate those areas where any doubt exists as to the reliability of any entry made.
          In the law, there is an exception to the hearsay rule which permits family relationships to be proven by hearsay testimony, and ancient writing may be introduced without proving them to be correct. I have relied upon such evidence only when circumstances indicated the reliability thereof.
          This history was written in 1954, but revised as of 1980 in the light of additional facts discovered between those dates.

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS FAMILY?

          On the 26th day of September, 1808, John Sevier, as Governor of Tennessee, issued Land Grant No. 535 to "Daniel Haston," conveying a tract of 150 acres in what was then White County, Tennessee, which de described as "lying * * * on the Big Spring Branch of Cane Creek on the main fork of Cany Fork: Beginning at a White Oak standing on the bank of the Big Spring Branch, on a conditional line of Joseph Hasting and Jacob Mitchell's beginning corner, etc." The habendum clause was: "To Have to Hold the said tract * * * to the said Daniel Hasting and his heirs forever." Thus, we find two names being used. This deed and is now of record in Book "A" at p. 2243 of land records of the State of Tennessee in the State Library and Archives in the State Department of Education, in the State Capitol at Nashville, and also of record in Book "C" at p. 108, at the County Site at Sparta, Tennessee.
          Prior to moving to White County, Daniel lived in Knox County, between Samuel Cowan and "Joseph Hasting" in October 1800, it is recited: "* * * leased the said lot of land to a certain "Daniel Hastin," the father of said Joseph." (See Vol. 3, p. 101). Daniel is shown as having served on the jury in Knox County sometime between 1802 and 1805.
          By deed dated 15 Feb 1809, "Joseph Hasting: conveyed to "David Hastin" land granted to Joseph by the State in land grant No. 550 dated 27 Sept. 1808. (See Book "B:" at p. 107, at Sparta).
          On 16 Jan. 1812, Chas. Mitchell conveyed to "David Haston", land lying the 3rd. district on the Big Spring Branch on line with "Joseph Haston." (See Book "E" at p. 50 at Sparta).
          "Daniel Haston" was indicted for assault and battery upon Jacob Mitchell, on 31 July 1818 and was fined fifty cents on a plea of guilty by said indicted. (See Minutes of the Court of Common Pleas of White County, at pp. 209 & 227).
          The earliest Federal Census taken in White County, Tennessee, which is available for examination is that of 1820. That census listed the "Head of the Family" by name and remaining members of the family by sex and age between certain years. The families of "Daniel Hasting," "Joseph Hasting," "David Hasting," and "Isaac Hasting," were listed in White County as the only families by that name or any similar name.
          On May 1822, "Isaac Haston" conveyed to Rhodum Doyle a tract on the South Side of Main Caney Fork, being a part of the 150 acre tract originally granted to "Daniel Haston" by the State in Grant No. 535 of 26 Sept. 1808. Witnesses: William Denny and "David Haston." (See Book "L" at p. 312 at Sparta.)
          The Census for 1830 lists the families as "Hasting," but that for 1840 shows "Hastin." The spelling in the Census for 1850 is "Hastion." The first Census to show "Haston," was that for 1860, and that spelling continues in all subsequent Censuses in Tennessee and in the Census taken in Arkansas in 1880.
          In a History of Greene County, Missouri, published in 1883, by the St. Louis Western Historical Company, which may be found in the Library of Congress under No. F 472 G8 H6, at p. 717, may be found the biography of "Isaac N. Hasten" in which it is recorded that he was the son of "Carroll and Nancy Hasten," who came to Missouri from Knox County, Tennessee.
          In the Biographical Records of Johnson and Pettis Counties, of Missouri, published in 1895, by Chapman Publishing Company, of Chicago, now on file in the Library of Congress under No. F 472 JE P8, may be found the biography of "Daniel M. Hastain." This was Daniel McComisky Haston, the son of David and grandson of Daniel. The biography recites that the name was originally "Hasting," and that the grandfather, Daniel, came from England. As to the origin of the family, please note that is publication was made at least 20 years after McComisky's death, and this statement represents an assumption only.
          A Biographical Record of the Cumberland Region, by George A. Ogle and Co. of Chicago, published in 1898, is now on file in the Library of Congress under No. F 443 C8 M5. That publication contains a "sketch" of "William Carroll Haston". We quote: "He was born here, March 2, 1829, and on the paternal side, is of Dutch descent, his grandfather, Daniel Hastons, being scarcely able to speak English. At an early date, he came to Tennessee, locating in Van Buren County (formerly White) near the spring now known as Hastons Big Spring, where he purchased the land now owned by our subject. In his family were thirteen children, all now deceased."
          My father related to me after his branch of the family moved to Arkansas, about 1880, they held a "family meeting" and decided to spell the name "Hasting" thereafter, because they felt that was the correct spelling. As a result, the family in Arkansas, generally spells the name "Hasting," but some add an "s" and some who came to Arkansas in later years or from other branches of the family still spell the name "Haston."
          A biography of "John Lawrence Haston," who as a great-great- grandson of Daniel, found on page 1724 of Volume 6, of a History of Tennessee and Tennesseans, by Will T. Hale, published in 1913, by Lewis Publishing Company of Chicago and New York, and no on file in the Library of Congress under No. F 436 H17, shows that John's great-great grandfather came to Tennessees [sic] from "the Carolinas."

DANIEL HASTING OF WHITE AND VAN BUREN COUNTIES, TENNESSEE

See also the Daniel Haston section in the main part of The Heritage of Daniel Haston site.

          DANIEL HASTING (1735 TO 1826). John Sevier, as Governor of Tennessee, issued Land Grant No. 535 to "Daniel Haston," conveying a tract of 150 acres in what was then White County, Tennessee, but now in Van Buren County, Tennessee, because Van Buren County was created between 1830 and 1850 from portions of White, Warren and Bledsoe Counties. The county site of White County is at Sparta and the county site of Van Buren County is at Spencer, Tennessee. That deed was dated 26 September 1808, and it described the tract by metes and bounds ­ Tennessee did not have the benefit of the public land survey, so that lands could be described ay sections and parts of sections. The description was, "lying * * * on the Big Spring Branch of Cane Creek on the main fork of Cany Fork: Beginning at a White Oak standing on the bank of the Big Spring Branch, on a conditional line of "Joseph Hasting" and Jacob Mitchell's beginning corner, etc." The habendum clause was: "To Have to Hold the said tract * * * to the said "Daniel Hasting" and his heirs forever." The deed is now of record in Book "A" at p. 224 of the land records of the State of Tennessee on file with the Tennessee State Library and Archives, State Department of Education, State Capitol, Nashville, Tennessee. The deed is also recorded in Book "C" at p. 108 of the Deed Records of White County, Tennessee, at the Court House at Sparta.
           "Daniel Haston" was indicted for assault and battery upon Jacob Mitchell, the above-mentioned adjoining land owner, on 24 July 1818, and was fined fifty cents on a plea of guilty on 31 Jul 1818, according to pp. 209 & 227 of the Minutes of the Court of Common Pleas of White County, Tennessee.
           The earliest Federal Census taken in White County, Tennessee, which is available for examination is that of 1820. The early censuses listed by name only the "Head of the Family," and the remaining members of each family were listed merely by sex and age between certain years. The family of "Daniel Hastin" was listed as consisting of him, shown to be over 45 years of age, and one female over 45 years of age. This was, apparently, Daniel and his wife. We have never discovered her name. However, Elizabeth Jane Stipe Hasting (6 Feb 1835 to 24 Feb 1917) wife of James Thomas Hasting (8 Jun 1836 to 31 May 1885) said that Daniels wife lived to be 110 years of age, and that Daniel paid her transportation to this county, and that she, Elizabeth Jane, remembered seeing her.

Editorial Note:  If Daniel's wife lived to be 110 years old, she should appear in the household of some family member for, at least, the 1830 & 1840 Federal Census records.  We have not been able to locate a female of this age in any of the Haston family census records for that era.  Please contact us if you have information to support the Elizabeth Jane Stipe Hasting statement.


           Three of Daniel's sons were listed in this 1820 census in White County Tennessee, in the following manner:

Hasting, David 45 plus   Hasting, Joseph 26 to 45
One female 26 to 45 *One female 45+
One male 26 to 46 One male  10 to 16
Two males 10 to 16 One male   0 to 10
Three males   0 to 10 One male   0 to 10
One female 16 to 26 One female 26 to 45
One female 10 to 16 One female 10 to 16
Two females    0 to 10 Three females   0 to 10
Editorial Note:  Born in 1777, David would have been the male in the 26-45 age category.  There was a 45+ age male in David's house at the time of the 1820 census, but who could it have been?

          *Since Daniel's wife was listed as living with him in this census the female over 45 living with Joseph was, probably, his mother-in-law, rather than his mother.

Hasting, Isaac 16 to 26 Hasting, Daniel 45+
One female 16 to 26 One female 45+
One male   0 to 10
One female 10 to 16
Two females   0 to 10

          The names were as shown, i.e. "Hasting."

           Neither Daniel, nor his wife, was listed in the census for 1830. We must presume, in fact we know from other evidence, that Daniel died between the 1820 and the 1830 censuses.

Editorial Note:  The 1826 White County, TN census and tax records of the mid 1820s seem to indicate that Daniel died in 1826.  The 1830 Rev War veterans mortality list card for Daniel also supports this year of death.

           Isaac sold his land to one Rhodum Doyle in 1822 and conveyed it by deed dated 15 May 1822. This deed was witnessed by William Denny and David Haston. William Denny was to become the father of Jane Denny who married David's son, William Carroll Haston (2 mar 1828 to 11 Jan. 1902). (See Book "L" at p. 312 of the Deed Records of White County, at Sparta). Isaac and his family were not listed in the 1830 census. It is believed he had begun his travels which ended in Greene County, Missouri. Joseph was not listed as the head of his family in the 1830 census; his wife, "Sara Ann," was listed as the head of his family, so that we presume that Joseph died before 1830, i.e. before the 1830 census was taken, but not long before, because his daughter, Amanda Haston was born in 1831, if census reports are correct.

          A Biographical Record of the Cumberland Region, by George A. Ogle and Co., of Chicago, published in 1898, is now on file n the Library of Congress under file No. F443 C8 M5. That publication contains a "Sketch" of William Carroll Haston, from which the following is taken:

"He was born here, March 2, 1829, and on the paternal side is of Dutch Descent, his grandfather, Daniel Hastons, being scarcely able to speak English. At an early date, he came to Tennessee, locating in Van Buren County, near the spring now known as Haston's Big Spring, where he purchased the land now owned by our subject. In his family, were thirteen children, all now dead."

All evidence indicates that the statement as to the nationality of Daniel is correct, notwithstanding contrary statements by others. This may account for the various spellings of the name ­ an effort to spell a Dutch name in English. The "Sketch" continued:  
           "The parents of our subject, David and Margaret Roddey Haston were probably natives of Virginia." This last statement is supported by the 1850 census which shows David as born in Virginia.

Editorial Note:  Although this statement in William Carroll Haston's bio sketch, as well as other evidence, does support the view that Daniel Haston was "Dutch," there are also sources that suggest that Daniel's nationality was either English or Scots-Irish.  See the "Roots" section of this site for a thorough discussion of various theories of Daniel's European roots.


           It is quite probable that Daniel moved from Virginia to what is now Tennessee, but which ­ at the time of his move ­ may have been considered as in North Carolina. Washington County, Tennessee, was organized in 1777, with its county site at Jonesboro, to become Tennessee's oldest county. It embraced all of what is now Tennessee and a part of the mountains which are now in North Carolina. The area so inclosed [sic] in Washington County, North Carolina, was at the time, considered as North Carolina's "Western Territory." In 1783, the Cumberland region was organized as Davidson County, with its county site at Nashville. Greene county, with its county site at Greeneville, was also organized n 1783. In 1784, Sullivan County was organized with its county site at Blountsville. In 1786 two other counties were organized, namely: Sumner with its county site at Gallatin, and Hawkins with its county site at Rogersville. Then, Jefferson County was organized in 1792 with its county site at Dandridge. All of these counties were organized as counties of North Carolina, because the territory was not taken into the Union as the State of Tennessee until 1796.
   
           It is difficult to understand how Daniel Haston could have avoided service in the Revolutionary Army. Lieutenant General Lord Charles Cornwallis had continued his march from Charlestown up the Wateree to Charlotte, North Carolina, arriving there on September 22nd. Major Patrick Ferguson, marching through western South Carolina with his 1,000 American Volunteers (Tories) had taken up the pursuit of a small force of Georgia and South Carolina militiamen, under Colonel Elijah Clark. Clark had made an unsuccessful attempt to retake Augusta and fleeing toward the Watauga settlement, west of the mountains. Ferguson had arrived at Gilbert Town, where he was pursuing his favorite diversion of rounding up the Patriots ­- Rebels, he called them ­ and burning the homes of those who fled or reused to take the oath of allegiance to the King; it was there that he first learned that the "over-mountain men" from what is now Tennessee were coming for him. He had made the mistake of sending to them a threat, that unless they ceased their opposition to the King's authority, he would cross the mountains, hand their leaders, and lay waste their settlement with fie and sword. Colonels John Sevier, known as "Nolichucky Jack," and Isaac Shelby issued a call for the frontiersmen to rendezvous on September 25th at Sycamore Flats, near Fort Watauga, n Carter County, Tennessee. Those who answered the call were: Colonels Sevier and Shelby, with 140 men each; Colonel Charles McDowell of North Carolina, with 160 men; and Colonel William Campbell of Virginia, with 400 men. They marched southwest, through Gillespie Gap to Quaker Meadows, where they were met by Colonel Benjamin Cleveland with 350 men. Ferguson started south as if for Ninety-six; but instead, he marched along the west bank of Silver and Cane Creeks, across Second Broad River to Broad River, and along the north bank of the Broad, across Buffalo Creek, to the top of King's Mountain, in the Northwest corner of York County, South Carolina, where he determined to make a stand. Thinking Ferguson was marching toward Ninety-six, the Patriots swung further to the south through the Cowpens, in the Northwest corner of Cherokee County, S.C., where they were joined by Colonels James Williams and William Graham, with 160 more men. In order to make up lost time, 900 men that were mounted were sent ahead to intercept Ferguson. On 7 October 1780, those 900 men surrounded Kingšs Mountain, dismounted, and advanced on foot up its slopes. Firing their Deckhard rifles with deadly accuracy as they moved from tree to tree, they closed in, shouting "Tarleton's quarter!" Ferguson was killed; and before their officers could stop them, those outraged men of the West had killed 157 Tories and seriously wounded 163. Not a man escaped; 698 were captured. Unfortunately, it must be observed that Ferguson was the only British Regular on King's Mountain that day ­ the others were Tories. The prisoners were marched to Gilbert Town, where 30 to 40 were tried on charges of raiding, looting and wanton burning of dwellings. Twelve were convicted, and 9 were hanged ­ so ended the first war crimes trials held by our country. Colonel Cleveland marched the remaining prisoners to Hillsboro, N.C., and delivered them to General Gates. There is no doubt that the victory at Kingšs Mountain was the major contributing cause of Lord Cornwallis' defeat at Yorktown, and the independence of the United States. King's Mountain was only one of several major battles fought in western North and South Carolina and Tennessee ­ the area in which Daniel Haston and his family were living at the time.
           It is not surprising that we find in "A ROSTER OF SOLDIERS FROM NORTH CAROLINA IN THE REVOLUTION published by the North Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution in 1932, on page 233 the beginning of a chapter entitled MILITARY LAND WARRANTS, CONTINENTAL LINE which lists warrants for lands granted the officers and soldiers in the continental Line out of the Secretary's, and on page 280 the following:
               No.    To Whom Granted        No. of Acres    Service in Months
               2345   Daniel Haston, Pvt.              640                    84."

Editorial Note:  See Daniel Haston's timeline on this site for additional information regarding this Revolutionary War land grant.

           After the war, Daniel remained in Tennessee, living for a time near Knoxville in Knox County. In the library at Nashville, can be found a copy of the Knox County Court Minutes, Vol. 3, 1800 to 1802, and at page 101 thereof, a record of a case, entitled Samuel Cowan v. Joseph Hastin, tried in October 1800 [Editorial note:  tied in April 1801], in the summary of which this is found: "leased the said lot of land to a certain Daniel Hastin, the father of the said Joseph Hasting." The court records of that county show that Daniel served as a juror in the Knox County Court. And the marriage records in Knox County show that Polly Hastings married James Milliken on 4 Sept. 1805, and that Peggy Hastings married John Ault on 22 Nov. 1809. 

Editorial Note:  Some Haston researchers have assumed that Polly Hastings and Peggy Hastings were daughters of Daniel Haston, but there is no documentation to support those assumptions.  Some circumstantial evidence supports the possibility that Polly Hastings could have been a daughter of Daniel.  The 1830 will of a Franklin County, TN John T. Hastings indicates that Peggy Hastings (Ault) was his daughter.

We have recited that Daniel acquired lands in White County in September 1808, and we must presume that he moved to White County from Knox County between 1808 ad 1809. Jesse Hasting married Elizabeth Gilentine [sic "Gillentine"] on 12 December 1815 in White County, and Caroline Haston married John Austin in White County in 1817.

Editorial Note:  Mr. Howard H. Hasting, Sr. referred to the wife of John Austin as "Caroline."  Her name, as we have found it, was Catherine.  She probably was Daniel's daughter.  John Austin lived fairly near the Haston family in southern White County, TN.  John Austin's first wife was a sister to William Denny, whose property adjoined Haston property.

           Daniel Hasting died in 1826 and was buried in Big Fork Cemetery in what is now Van Buren County, Tennessee. His grave was unmarked until rather recently. As a result of the inquiry conducted for this history of the family, Elwood Haston caused a stone to be placed at Daniel's grave and induced the D.A.R. to mount one of their plaques thereon. We are sure of his grave because John Taylor Haston had pointed out his grave and that of Daniel's wife, and that of Joseph Haston and his wife many years before to Casto Haston.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS
David Haston 6 May 1777 to 1 Apr. 1860
Joseph Haston 9 Jan 1780 to             1830
Isaac Haston 1794-1804 to

Believed to be Isaac Hastings of Greene County, Missouri.

 
SONS AND DAUGHTERS  (Probable)
William Carroll Hastings To 1845 of Greene County, Missouri
John Hastings 1796 of Greene County, Missouri
Jesse Haston 2 Jan 1798 to 8 Nov 1864 of Howard County, Missouri
Polly Hastings of Knox County, Tennessee
Peggy Hastings of Knox County, Tennessee
Caroline Hastings or Haston of White County, Tennessee
Daniel Hasting of Monroe County, Kentucky
     
Editorial Note:  Based upon the researched data that we have at this time, we would not classify William Carrol Hastings, John Hastings, Polly Hastings, or Daniel Hasting (of KY) as "probable" sons and daughters of Daniel.  The evidence for these is weak, at best.  There is some circumstantial evidence that Polly Hastings might have been Daniel's daughter.  We believe that there is good evidence to prove or, at least support, the immediate familial relationship of Daniel to:  David, Joseph, Catherine ("Caroline"), Isaac, and Jesse. 

DANIEL HASTING OF MONROE COUNTY KENTUCKY

          The census for 1850 in Monroe County, Kentucky lists Daniel Hastend age 80 (1770) born in Virginia. Monroe County was formed from Cumberland and Barren Counties, and this Daniel Hastings was listed in Cumberland in the 1810 census. He was shown with 4 sons and 4 daughters. In the same census (1810) was Abraham Hastings as having been born between 1765 and 1784 and as having 3 sons and 3 daughters. Also listed in that same census was Henry Hastings, born between 1784 and 1794, as having 3 sons and 1 daughter. In the same census (1810) for the adjoining county of Barren one Samuel Haston was listed as born between 1765 and 1784 and having one son and 4 daughters. These people and their offspring are listed in the succeeding censuses in Monroe County for 1820, 1830, 1840 etc. The changes with each census: Hastings for 1810, Hastans for 1820, Hasten for 1830, Hestand for 1840 and Hastend for 1850 and Hestand for 1860.
          In room N-18 of the Veterans Pension Archives, Archives Building, Washington, D.C., there was a file in 1950 containing an application for bounty lands filed by this Daniel. It contains this story: Daniel enlisted from Washington County, Tennessee, first in 1792 and again in 1793, in expeditions against the Cherokee Indians. Governor Blount called for volunteers. He enlisted first in Captain Daugherty's company in Colonel Carter's Regiment, all under General Sevier. He enlisted the second time in Captain North's Company in Colonel Christians Regiment. He was mustered out just before Christmas in 1793 at Knoxville, Tennessee. He remembered the dates from the date of his marriage, which was February 1794. This application was filed from Tompkinsville, Monroe County, Kentucky, and dated 1852, during October. He received the bounty, but sold it.
          A search of the county records of Knoxville for any marriage of Daniel failed to find anything.
          If this Daniel was born in 1770, he was only 6 years of age at the beginning of the Revolution, and could not have served 8 years. He would have been the correct age to be a son of Daniel Hasting of White County, Tennessee. Likewise, Abraham, Henry, and Samuel are of an age which would have made it possible for them to sons of Daniel of White County, Tennessee--that Daniel had 14 children. We have been unable to establish the relation of Daniel Hasting of Monroe County, Ky., with Daniel Hasting of White County, Tennessee.
 

Editorial Note:  Evidence suggests that this "Daniel Hasting / Hiestend / Heasten / Hestend (& other surname spellings) was the son of Abraham Hiestend who moved to the area of western NC that became eastern TN, and then on to KY from Page County, VA.  This Daniel Heasten of KY did affiliate with Baptist churches in KY that associated with the Big Fork Baptist Church, located near the homes of the early White Co, TN Haston family.

Editorial Notes:  David Haston's Bible record indicates that Margaret Roddy was born in 1785.  That matches information on the 1850 Federal Census.

Isaac Hastings married Agnes Simpson.  He probably died in 1872.

Editorial Note:  Based upon the researched data that we have at this time, we would not classify William Carrol Hastings, John Hastings, Peggy Hastings, or Daniel Hasting (of KY) as "probable" sons and daughters of Daniel.  The evidence for these is weak, at best.  There is some circumstantial evidence that Polly Hastings might have been Daniel's daughter.  We believe that  there is good evidence to prove or, at least support, the immediate familial relationship of Daniel to:  David, Joseph, Catherine ("Caroline"), Isaac, and Jesse.
