I am the author of "Aransas: The Life of a Texas Coastal County." It makes reference to Edward Dingle Hastings, relative of Lydia Ann Hastings Hull Wells, a prominent member of the Lamar community in Aransas.
I'm seeking information on the Hastings oilfield, near Pearland TX, wondering if the Hastings there was related to the Hastingses of Aransas.
I am not a member of that family. The Hastingses from whom I am descended came from Michigan.
