Hi again: I pulled our family info I have and this is what it says.
David Hastie was born January 30, 1810. His wife Margaret Johnstone was born August 28. 1809. They where married in Dec of 1830 near Moffat, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. They and their family of ten children emigrated to Canada in 1854. Their 11th child was born here the following year.

They had a long way to go before reaching their new home. They traveled by stagecoach to Glasgow etc.

There was free lands given by the crown in Bentinck Twp. near Durham so three of the older boys went to build a cabin. Archie, Andrew, and Jessie took possession of Lot 20, Concession 12 and built the homestead. I am related to Archie Hastie.

Yes, Clara is my husband's 2nd Great Grandmother. And the mother of my husband's two living aunts. I have her as Clara Ann Elizabeth Taylor (first married Scott then Hastie). I have a hand written family story that tells a bit of Clara coming to America - I can't find it today but will keep looking (and know who has the original). Please contact me directly at bkeiley@aol.com. Good to hear from her, very curious what you know of Clara! -Barb

I am about to publish an extended, extensive history of Thomas Pier Hastie and family, who settled on Whidbey Island, Washington Territory, in 1853, and Thomas P. moved his young family over to the Skagit Valley in 1870. He is Thomas Jr. His father, Thomas P. Sr., moved back to Wisconsin in 1863.
I am wondering if this was the family you are related to. Or his brother William, for whom a Whidbey lake is named. I would like a family tree, and copies of any documents or photos you might have re: the family. Please email your answer to below address: Thank you.

Simontons of Paterson, NJ

kirklandblack — 2009-06-21 01:38:34Z

I have entered a Simonton Family tree of my branch(es) of the Simonton family and hope we can connect with the other families. My grandfather was John Vandervoort Simonton 1867-1939, wife Lida Duke; his father Charles Simonton 1836-1898, wife Louise Gebhardt; Charles' father was Thomas C. Simonton, about 1788-?, wife Susan Doughty, about 1795-?. I seek more information about Thomas and Susan. Any information you can provide will be appreciated.

kirklandblack — 2009-06-21 01:29:23Z

The James Simonton (1834-1914) you cite in Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Paterson, NJ was my great great uncle. His wife's name was Elizabeth Van Horn. My grandfather was John Vandervoort Simonton, 1868-1939. There are MANY Simonton of this family buried in both Cedar Lawn and Laurel Grove cemeteries. James was the son of Thomas C. Simonton, born about 1788; his wife was Susan Doughty, born about 18795. I cannot locate the birth place or parents of either of them. If anyone has information on them I will appreciate it. I have entered a Simonton Family tree of my branch of the Simonton family.

Hi Patty,

I am one one of the Hasties with known roots back to Dumfriesshire that Megan mentioned who has recently joined the DNA project. I completed the test a few weeks ago and am now waiting for the results from the lab in Texas.

From the posts that I have just read I can not see any direct connection yet, but who knows? I traced my branch of the family back to a William Hastie (my great grandfather)who was born in Sanquhar in 1825. I believe that his father was William Hastie born in Kirkconnel in 1797, and his father was James Hastie born in Kirkpatrick in 1770.

I am going to visit Sanquhar at the beginning of March and as all these places are pretty close to each other I am going to visit the local churches and libraries to see what I can find out from the parish records and headstones.

Re: William G Hastie

patsyelth — 2009-01-30 05:13:12Z

Right after I wrote you I checked my books, and realized I had a census that showed William and Robert living with their grandmother, Elizabeth. So at least that part seems right. There was an Andrew living with them at the time, as well. Andrew was Elizabeth's son, so must have been an "uncle" of William and Robert. You have given me new info though, so I am anxious to see more. my email is patelth@comcast.net

Re: Hastie's in New Zealand and Australia

DaveCrankshaw — 2008-04-16 13:54:14Z

Not Scottish, but Norwegian. He was born Ole Jonas Jensen on 26 August 1862 in Kristiansand, Norway to Borre Andreas Jensen and his wife, Andrea Thomine Olsdtr. After the death of his mother, his father took him to New Zealand, but died on the voyage (1872). He was adopted by Robert & Jenet (Dunn) Hastie in New Zealand as their only child and when he became an adult (1885) returned to Norway to find his sister, my great grandmother. He went on to university and became a minister returning to New Zealand, but later in Canada and US, ending in Albia, Iowa where he died in 1951. I have much more, but this is the short version.

If you mean my 2gt uncle, 1862-1951, married 1887 to Aletha Andrus in Iowa, or his son WJH, 1900-1976 who married Cyril Penfield, then yes, a great deal including letters, transcripts, photos as well as births, deaths, marriages, etc.

William John Hastie was a brother of my great grandmother, Borea Jensen. They were two of the five children of Borre Jensen and his wife Andrea Thomine Olsdtr of Kristiansand, Norway. I have extensive family history both here and in Norway. I will be visiting some of our Norwegian cousins in May 2008. I have several nice photos of W.J.

Re: Hastie of Lanarkshire

schaller172 — 2008-03-25 15:11:40Z

My great grandmother was Christina C Hastie born abt 1879
Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.. Her parents were James Hastie and Flora Leitch Girdwood.
Christina married a gentleman by the surname of Geddes. I am unsure if this was 'before' or 'after' immigrating to Australia.
At this stage the skeleton in the family closet pops up. Christina left her husband and children in Western Australia and started a relationship with William Griffith Williams. She and William had at least 2 children.. Joan (born in Burma) and my grandfather William Griffith Williams Hastie born in 1915 at Subiaco in Perth, Western Australia.
My grandfather was unaware he was illegitimate until he applied for his birth cert. at age 18. As far as I know the 'Hastie' surname was never used by him. All descendants have gone by the surname Williams.
Any info on my Hastie family would be great.. I have researched the Girdwood side but havent gotten very far on Hastie. (I have 8 siblings listed for Christina C)
Thanks
Michelle

Re: Hastie of Lanarkshire

schaller172 — 2008-04-28 22:50:32Z

Thanks for replying. I forgot to change this thread.
Since posting it I found out the family history by word of mouth had it back to front. Thanks to at last tracking down Christinas death cert (after a few false leads).
Christina married into the Hastie family. Her maiden name was Christina Cain Geddes (b.1881 Glasgow) and she married Thomas Henderson Hastie, whos was born at bo'ness Linlithogowshire in 1868.
They married at Auchterarden in 1904. It was after the birth of her second child that she left her husband and lived out of wed-lock with my ancestor in Australia.
I have been trying to trace Thomas Hastie's ancestors.
I have his father William born in 1828 in Linlithogow, married to Elizabeth Henderson. Williams father was William (further details unknown) married to Ann Sharp (possibly from Perth)
Sorry about the false lead

Re: William G Hastie

terryhastie1 — 2008-03-19 20:51:11Z

In answer to your posting my 4g grandparents were William Hastie/Janet Grieve. Their son Thomas who married Janet Falconer was my 3g grandfather and brother to your Philip. I am afraid Patty has it wrong and William G was not born in 1822 and was not the brother of Thomas P Hastie.
I have seen this wrong information before on some of the American postings. (The William who was born in 1822 was the son of Philip Hastie and Janet Mann.)

Philip Hastie who married Janet Mann was brother to William Hastie who married Janet Grieve

William and Janet Grieves son William G was born in 1807 the first son and child of William and Janet Grieve. William G Hastie b 1807 married Elizabeth Purves 21/05/1831 in Chirnside Berwickshire Scotland. They sailed for America in 1855. William and Elizabeth had 6 children, Margaret, William, William, David, Philip, and Janet all born Scotland. Margaret William and William all died. Philip married his 2nd cousin Ellen Hastie. David was killed in the American Civil war. Janet married Alexander Sheriff (also a native of Scotland) They all settled in Warren County Iowa.

My line did not venuture overseas until my grandfathers generation. My grandfather remained in Scotland and I am there stil. I have your Philip in my tree and always suspected that he had married Elizabeth Liddle but was not sure. Did Philip remain in Scotland? This is the first contact I have had with anyone who came down my line from William and Janet Grieve!

Look forward to hearing from you.

Terry, this is great. Where in Scotland are you. I live on the Isle of Mull, having been brought up inthe north east of England. Philip Hastie & Elizabeth Liddle's son Robert married Agnes Wight (b. scotland). Their eldest child, Grace Mary, was born in Scotland 1874. Their moved south sometime before their next child, Philip was born in Sunderland 1875. He was my great grandfather. We have letters between brothers James Alexander and Philip (son's of PH & EL) so PH & EL must have also moved south to look for work. The letter are concerning the availablity of work. By 1881 Robert was working as a driller in the boat yards. The men worked in the ship yards down until my father.

Re: William G Hastie

patsyelth — 2009-01-30 04:36:33Z

Hi MHastie,

I am interested but need to check/think about it, and go back in my Hastie line. My Robert Hastie (great great grandfather) was born in 1842, in Leadhills as you probably already know. His parents were William and Jane Mckendrick. Jane parents were Robert and Grizzel Haddow. Robert Mckendrick was from Sanquhar, Dumfrieshire. The Hastie side that I have traced so far, goes back as far as William Hastie (Robert's father) was born 10/4/1814in Leadhills. William and Jane had: William b.6/3/1840, Robert (my direct decendant), and John b. 1/5/1885. So, I have not gone back as far on the Hastie side, as the Mckendrick side. I will get back to you about the dna testing.

Regards Jackie

Re: William G Hastie

mhastie5927 — 2009-01-30 05:06:05Z

Actually, I have done a detailed study of the Hastie's at Leadhills. Your William b 1814 was the son of William Hastie b 1776 and Elizabeth Adamson. William Hastie b 1776 was the son of James Hastie and Agnes Carmichael. If you give me your email address, I'll send you more info.

The big question for me has been whether your James was a brother or close relative of my John Hastie who was married to Anne Williamson. Gaps in the record at Leadhills have made it impossible to know...the dna project could answer the question. However, I understand you may have questions and concerns. I'd be happy to address any you direct to me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Re: William G Hastie

mhastie5927 — 2008-05-11 02:12:56Z

In case you have any interest, there is a Hastie/Hasty DNA project at familytreedna.com...The first group of participants were Hasty's but very recently a few Hastie's with Scottish known roots have joined and ordered kits. The idea is to determine whether all Hastie's share a common ancestor or whether there are different lines. If there are different lines, we hope to be able to sort them out geographically. The test also can give you an idea of how closely you and other participants are related, bringing cousins in contact to share information.

If this interests you, go to familytreedna.com. Type Hastie in the surname search window and follow instructions on how to join. A 25 marker test costs $148 if you join the group---a $40 discount...in addition the project fund can kick in $30 bringing the cost down to $118.

Hastie/Hasty DNA project

mhastie5927 — 2008-05-02 15:47:39Z

I am not from any testing service. Just letting folks know about the surname project for Hasty's and Hastie's...

The Hasty/Hastie DNA surname project concerns testing the male y chromosome to determine relatedness to other Hasty/Hastie's who have been tested. For instance, we're hoping to answer the question: Are all Hastie's (with the Scottish spelling) descended from a common ancestor or are there several distinct lines of Hastie's in Scotland and England? When you test you also get an estimate of your haplogroup membership, which tells you about your "deep" ancestry, i.e. what route your very early ancestors took out of Africa. Your results will also be compared with the entire database if you choose that option...

To learn more about testing, go to www.familytreedna.com.

Anyone is free not to join a project...You can order individually. You will still be alerted if there's a match with anyone in the database. However, you don't get any discounts, and other Hastie's will not be aware of you unless you match them closely. Thus we will not get to see whether some Hastie's with the "ie" ending are NOT related to other Hastie's...which is one of our purposes.

To join the project, stay on their home page and type "Hastie" in the surname search window. You fill out a form stating your earliest known male Hastie ancestor, his dates, and location and request to join. He'll give you further instructions...

I encourage folks to order the 25 marker test
(that's y DNA test)...the 12 marker test gives very limited information. Joining the Hasty/Hastie surname group means you pay the same price for the 25 marker test that you would for the 12 marker test were you not to join the group. That's $148. If there is money in the fund, the administrator will allocate some of it to you.

It will not be the same form as you would use to order as an individual---you'll be ordering through the project, which gives you an automatic discount and gives him the right to see the results of your test and post them with other Hasty/Hastie results by test sample number for comparison---(in the post your name is not associated with the sample number so your privacy and anonymity are protected).

He'll give you further instructions or answer any questions you may have (or he might ask me to help you---I'll be happy to...)

Hi,

My Hastie's were from Leadhills, very near Sanquhar.
Would be interested in sharing info. If you have any male Hastie relatives, they may be interested in joining the Hasty/Hasty dna project to see if they/you are related to other Scottish participants---three project members are from Dumfriesshire, including one with roots in Sanquhar.

Re: William G Hastie

mhastie5927 — 2009-01-29 18:07:21Z

Hi Lesley,

I saw your post and thought I'd drop a note...My earliest known Hastie's lived in Leadhills (1700s-1841).
I was wondering if you had any interest in joining the Hasty/Hastie dna project(requires a male Hastie relative to cooperate). The idea is to compare the dna of people with our surname and sort out who's related to whom and how closely--and to share genealogical info.
We already have 5 members with known roots in Scotland (three from three parishes in Dumfrisshire, one whose family was in Fifeshire in the 1600s and 1700s, then moved to Edinburgh, then to Biggar and then scattered about, and one member from Leadhills. There are several participants whose earliest known ancestors were immigrants. These latter folks are hoping to match someone with known origins.

It would be great if a Hastie (or a few) with Berwickshire roots would join. I think we could learn quite a bit as more folks participate...It may turn out we're related...or that you are related to other participants...If not, that tells us something as well.

Regards,
M Hastie

Re: William G Hastie

mhastie5927 — 2009-01-29 17:50:04Z

Hi,

My earliest known Hastie's were likewise from Leadhills. My gg grandfather Thomas Hastie was born there in 1825, son of John Hastie b ca 1778-83 and Catherine Whitfield, who likewise were both born at Leadhills. I believe I have some info about your line---I'll have to take a look at my notes. If I remember correctly, gaps in the records make it impossible to see if and where our lines connect. In case you're interested, gaps can be overcome to some degree by dna testing.... You may be interested in having a male Hastie relative join the Hasty/Hastie dna project, as my family has, to see if we share a recent common ancestor. The overall goal of the project is to discern the various lines of Hastie's and determine which Hastie's in the records in Scotland and elsewhere are related to one another and which not...Three Hastie's from three different parishes in Dumfriesshire (in the 1700s) have recently joined as well as one from Fifeshire--we're awaiting results. Meanwhile, there are several members whose earliest known ancestors were immigrants---these hope to match with someone with known UK roots.

There is a Hasty/Hastie DNA surname project (tests only Hastie males) at Family Tree that may help us answer the question of whether the Scottish Hastie's (and those from northern England) all share a common ancestor and if so, at what degree of proximity. If not, we can begin to sort out what the different lines are and how many there are...We can also connect with cousins as we compare results....If interested, go to familytreedna.com, enter Hastie in the search window and click, then click on Hasty project to join...

My Hastie's are from Leadhills ca mid 1700s. That place was first settled in the late 1600s so they had to have come in from elsewhere...Dumfriesshire is one nearby possibility. A test of some descendants of the Dumfriesshire Hastie's would help us sort it out...Project participants get a discount and possibly some help from the project fund...Family Tree is the testing service.

I do not know whether anyone can help with this query but if you can I would be really grateful.

I have just started researching my family tree, which is on Genes Reunited and I have come across a bit of a mystery. My grandfather was James Hastie born circa 1861 in London and he was the son of William Hastie and Sarah McGeorge who originated from Dumfries.

My grandparents married in March 1892 in Marleybone, London, and this is where the mystery starts. From the online records that I have looked at so far it would appear that my grandmother's maiden name was Pemberton but apart from a record of the marriage I can not find any previous record of my grandmother.

However, my parents marriage certificate (which is dated 1940) records my grandmother's maiden surname as Graham, and whilst I believe I can trace a record from this I can not show a Madeleine Graham marrying a James Hastie.

I believe, but can not prove, that Madeleine Graham and Madeleine Hastie are the same person and I would speculate that Madeleine Graham first married someone called Pemberton. However, she would have been very young when this happened as she was born circa 1872/1873 and was only 19 years old when she married my grandfather in 1892.

Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks

Ian Hastie

I have recently started to research my family ancestory. Margaret Hastie was my grandmother, who migrated to Australia in 1914. She is the second youngest child to William Archibald, and Helen Hastie, born in 1889, in Edinburgh. She married Sidney Williams upon arrival in Australia. I did meet one of my realtives in 1985, his name is Matt Scougall, was a batchelar, and son to Megs younger sister whos name escapes me at the minute. Any information on this branch of the Hastie family would be much apprieciated, thank you,
Neil
