We are trying to fill in some blanks in my husbands Hastings family. We have his line back to John W. and Hannah (Anna) Estes Hastings, who came from N.C. to Henry Co Tn in the 1820's, and on to Izard/Lawrence Co Ark. about 1840. Their oldest son, James W. married Melinda Faulkenberry, and lived around Franmklin. Their children were William, John, Ruth, Rebecca, James Porter, Jefferson, Arch, Robert. Melinda died in 1875, and is burried in Roberts cemetery, Franklin, Ar. The 1880 census for Lawrence/Sharp shows James W. married to Susan Estes. So far we have been unable to find where he is burried. He is not in Roberts, unless it is an unmarked grave. Would anyone have any info on where he is burried? Also, there is a picture of Hickory Flat School, 1914, in the Izard co. History Book, with a Thelma Hastings. We feel sure she is related, don;t know where she fits in this family. Also...Morris Hastings, we think he was a cousin to my father in law, William Garland Hastings, again we don't know where he belongs. They lived so close to the Sharp Co. line and some lived in Sharp Co. any help will be appreciated. Myrlene Jackson Hastings
