Looking for info on David Hastings, found a will dated 12/21/1743 with Jennet Hasting as exectutrix. He was in Fallowfield twp. Chester county. Any info will be appreciated, thanks, Sue

What is on record for David is not a will, but rather, adm. papers....however, there are sometimes bits and pieces of data even in these papers, so have you written to get a copy? ...... they are available from Records and Archives...that address is included on the Chester County site, under County Resources. I checked the CD for wills that for others that mention Jennet ,(I was hoping to find her in the will of a parent, but no luck.) However, one hint to keep in mind is her name, Jennet...this is pretty exclusively a Scottish name, so with that as a clue you might want to look for these folks in Presbyterian Church records. There is no mention of David Hastings in THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY, by Futhey and Cope. Here is the will of another David Hastings, and this one is also from Fallowfield, so I'll include it in case it is the child of 'your' David; HASTINGS, DAVID. West Fallowfield.July 30, 1770. May 1, 1772.Provides for wife Margery. Remainder to 2 children Joseph and Mary Hastings except £10 to my grandchildren James and Elizabeth Whray and son by the law John Whray 5 shillings.Executors: Friends Thomas McLuce and Saml. Dale.Wit: Saml. Futhey, Jos. Criswell, Elisha Criswell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Simpson" <suesimpson@conwaycorp.net> To: <PA-OLD-CHESTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 2:22 PM Subject: [PaOldC] David Hastings > Looking for info on David Hastings, found a will dated 12/21/1743 with > Jennet Hasting as exectutrix.
