Reply: This is a very generous offer. Thank you. I believe that members of my family were members of the Forreston Methodist Church from about 1897/98 to about 1910-1920 . Would look up the names of the following three families: William Edward Hasten and wife Anna D.Meadows Hasten. Anna D. died in 1904. Their children were Ernest Clifton (my grandfather) and Flora Hasten. Presley Hasten and wife Martha "Mattie" Meadows Hasten. Their daughter was Mary E. Jasper Newton Meadows and wife Rebecca Holt. - Jasper was also known as "Jap" Meadows. He was the father of the two sisters Anna D. and Martha "Mattie" who were wives of the two above named Hasten brothers. James McKenney and Elizabeth Jenny Lou Hasten McKenny and their children. Elizabeth Jenny Lous was a sister to William Edward and Presley Hasten. She died in 1910. Edward Case and Julia Orphelia Hasten (some records in TX spell her name Hastings) and children. Julia was a niece of the other Hastens named above. Thank you again for your time and efforts. I'm sure I'll have more relatives (Smiths) in those records, but don't want to selfishly burden you with look-ups. The Hasten Family, the Meadows, and the Smiths were all inter-related to each other several times in Limestone Co., AL. They all lived in/near Forreston and I'm told attended the Methodist Church there.
