'"'" .• _. .. • • ..... ■ 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.
