'"'" .• _. .. • • ..... ■ THE HASTINGS MEMORIAL. THOl\tIAS I-IASTINGS. THE name 4 HASTINGS is of an illustrious family in history; and the race to which it applies is of Danish origin. In the early days of the Brith,h kingdom, the Danes made frequent incur~ions upon that part of England and Seotland bordering upon the North S<:'a,. It was in one of the~e incur~ions that I-lasting::<, a Danish c-hief~ made himself formidable to Alfred the Gn•at, by lauding a forge body of men upon the coast. He took po~se~sion of a portion of Su~~ex; nnd the Castle and seaport were helcl by his fiunily when ,villinm the Con- queror landed in England; and they held it fro1n the Crown for many generations. · The first of the family who enjoyed the peerage was Henry lord !lasting:;, son of ,villia.rn de IIastin·gs, steward of Ilenry II. They were allied by marriage to the royal family of' Scotland and England. George, the third lord Ha~tings, was, in 1529, created Earl of Hun tingdon. Sir Henry and George !lastings, grandsons of the Earl of IIuntingdon, had sons who became puritans, and were obliged by per secution to leave their native land and find homes in the New WorlJh._ As early as 1634, we find T-homas !lastings and wife had arrived on this shore; and in 1638 John and family had followed. That they were brothP.rs was a tradition in the family ; but it has uot been clearly shown, and it is more probnble they were cousins, Thomas being descended from a younger brother of the Earl of lluntingdon. The coat of arms would al~o indicate as much ; Ermine, on a Chief Azure, (blue) two mo.llcts Or; (gold) Crest, one star Or, (gold)-known by the name of !lastings. The motto of the lords Hastings, is, "In veritate victoria." (In truth tliere is tt•ictory.) I. THO~IAS I-TASTINGS, aged 29, and· wife SUSANNA, aged 34, embarkt=>d at Ip~wich, England, April 10, 1634, in the Elizabeth, William Andrews, master, for New England, and settled in Watertown, ~lass., then known as '' The l\Iassachusetts Bay Colony," where he was admitted freeman, l\Iay 6, 1635.
