Louisa ElderHastings has left us a precious document in church and local history.  He did not alphabetise it.  He did not arrange it.  He did not double check it to cancel out duplications or to complete the identifications.  For some reason known to himself, he wanted a membership list.  He sat down with his ledger and ink well and wrote the names as he thought of them.  The ink well ran dry.  Hepicked up a stub of a pencil and kept writing. Arthur Hastings was the Township Commissioner of Spice Valley for many years.  His ledgers cover many years of local history in and about Port Williams. they document much family history. These two pages are a specimen for which we thank his great great granddaughter Leone Maegerlein.  Goodspped(1884) gave us this vignette: ArthurHastings was born in Wayne County, NC, March 7, 1801.
