KY (See Stockton Valley Association activity) 1804 Daniel owned one hundred acres on McFarland Creek in Monroe (Cumberland) Co, which was from the Tellico Grants (Land ceded to U S by Cherokee Indians) in KY (976.9 K37j). The survey date was 02-20-1804. He received three grants from the state of Kentucky for land in Monroe Co., KY, and Jackson (now Clay) Co., Tenn.; on Oct 22, 1825, he received 100 acres on Proctor's Creek, and on July 2, 1837, 75 acres on Knob and Proctor's Creeks in Jackson Co., and on Jan 13, 1826, he received 50 acres on McFarland's Creek in Monroe Co. He joined the Mill Creek Baptist Church at Tompkinsville, KY., on Feb. 8, 1800; was a member of the McFarland's Creek Church from 1827 to 1841. He represented it in the Baptist Association in 1827-34, 1836, and 1840; in 1829 he was sent to help the Sulphur Church; in 1830 he prepared a rule of church decorum; in 1833 he was appointed to invite a new minister; in 1839 he was sent to request help from the Mill Creek and Cumberland Churches. In 1841 he and his second wife Polly, whom he had probably married shortly before, were dismissed from the church at their own request. Minutes of Pleasant Run Church on McFarland Creek 1827-1844 list Daniel as a member. "Hannah Boone & Her Descendants" refer to Daniel as being a German Mennonite.

Daniel Haston (more)
of Adair County, KY

Father:

Daniel Haston?
(of White County, TN)

It is possible (perhaps probable) that this KY "Daniel Haston" was the namesake son of the elder "Daniel Haston" who lived and died (1826) in White County, TN. Perhaps this younger KY "Daniel" moved to Kentucky before/at the same time/after the elder Daniel Haston moved to middle TN. This would certainly explain the apparent connection between the KY Daniel Haston's family and the TN Daniel Haston's family.

Mother:

Unknown

Birth:

Between 1785-1789

Wife:

Chloe Skaggs
b: about 1786
d: one source says she died abt. 1808, but daughter Louisa was born in 1811

Married:

October 21, 1807 in Adair Co, KY

Children:

Louisa (Eliza) Hastings
b: August 15, 1811 in Adair Co, KY

Louisa married Thomas Taylor Green on September 22, 1829 in White Co, TN by David Hastings, Esq.*

Elizabeth Haston
Polly Haston
Peggy Haston

Louisa (Eliza) may have been the only child born to Chloe Skaggs Haston, prior to her death which apparently occurred shortly after her marriage to Daniel Haston.

*Source: "Family Record" from a very old family Bible, assumed to have been the Bible of Thomas Taylor Green & Louisa (Eliza) Hastings Green.

His Death:

Archibald Skaggs' will seems to suggest that Daniel Haston was deceased by 1832 and a Daniel Haston will and estate settlement indicate that he died in the summer of 1820.

Notes:

The fact that Louisa, daughter of Daniel and Chloe Skaggs Haston / Hastings, was married (to Thomas T. Green) by David Haston (Hastings), Esq. in White Co, TN seems to indicate some relationship between the Daniel Haston of Adair Co, KY family and the Daniel Haston / David Haston of White Co, TN family. White Co, TN was & is approximately 100 miles due south from Adair Co, KY. It is highly unlikely that this wedding of Louisa Haston / Hastings by David Haston was just a coincidental connection of people with the same surnames - especially since Louisa and her fiancé traveled 100 miles to be wed by this particular justice of the peace.

Thomas Taylor Green and Louisa Hastings Green moved to what became Colbert County in northwest Alabama.

One source says that Chloe Skaggs Haston died in about 1808-1809 and that Daniel Haston married Betsy Harrison on January 10, 1810. This, however, does not account for the August 15, 1811 (as per the family Bible record) birth of Louisa (Eliza) Hastings, whose marriage records states her mother to be Chloe Hastings, wife of Daniel Hastings. But both of Louisa's parents died when she was a young girl, so it is plausible to think that she did not know for sure when she was born.

Signed note for marriage of John Johnston and Anny Skaggs, daughter of Archibald Skaggs, who were married September 15, 1814 by Thomas Skaggs; attest Charles Skaggs.

Daniel left a will dated June 6, 1820 in Adair Co, KY; named no wife, only children.

Named in June 1, 1832 will of Archibald Skaggs (Daniel's father in law): "I also confirm the gift to DANIEL HEISTON; Heir ELIZA HASTON of one Dollar it is my desire that after the death of my wife the negro boy named George shall be the property of my son THOMAS to be possessed by him for him any use benefit in consequence of his paying ninety Dollars which I owe to DANIEL HASTON heirs..."

Adair Co, KY Daniel Haston Timeline

Or was the...
Daniel Haston of Adair Co, KY the Son of Samuel Haston of Barren Co, KY?

Samuel Haston (of 1810 Barren Co, KY census)

Abraham Hiestand's father-in-law was Samuel Boehm. It is generally believed, by Hiestand family researchers, that the Samuel Hastings (and other surname spellings) who lived in east TN (then NC) near Abraham Hiestand/Heaston was the oldest son of Abraham & Magdalene Boehm Hiestand/Heaston. It is also generally believed that this is the same man who appears, as Samuel Haston, on the 1810 Barren Co, KY census.

If this was true, then Samuel Haston of Barren Co, KY would have been the brother of Daniel Hestand of Monroe Co, KY. If Daniel Haston of Adair Co, KY was the son of Samuel Haston of Barren Co, KY, then Daniel Haston of Adair Co, KY would have been the nephew of Daniel Hestand of Monroe Co, KY. Daniel Haston of Adair Co, KY would, thus, probably have been named after his uncle, Daniel Hestand of Monroe Co, KY.

However, there is no documented evidence to support this Samuel Haston (of Barren Co, KY) to Daniel Haston (of Adair Co, KY) relationship, other than the two of them lived near in the same general area of south central KY at the same time and both spelled their names "Haston." Also, the ages of Samuel Haston of Barren Co, KY and Daniel Haston of Adair Co, KY would certainly fit a father-son relationship.

The 1810 Barren Co, KY "Saml Haston" had (living in his household) 1 white male under 10 and he (Samuel) was in the 26-44 years of age category (thus, born between 1766-1784). A female (apparently, his wife) was in the same 26-44 age range. There were three white females under 10 and one white female in the 10-15 age bracket. If the "Daniel Haston" who married Chloe Skaggs in 1807 was the son of this Samuel Haston, Daniel would probably have been the older brother of these younger siblings. Samuel Haston does not appear in subsequent KY Federal census reports.

The Hestand family researchers who have researched the early KY Hestand families for many years seem to have no records of this Daniel Haston and Chloe Skaggs.

NC Continental Army Rev War soldier Oliver Hasten / Haston (who died in or shortly after the Rev War) had a son, Samuel Haston / Hasten who inherited Oliver's military land grant. It is possible that this Barren Co, KY could have been that Samuel Haston, but we have no evidence to support that possibility. Daniel Haston family researchers have sometimes speculated that Oliver Hasten / Hasten may have been the brother of Daniel Haston (who died in White Co, TN).
