  1. 12.  Thomas Hastings was born on 25 Dec 1778 in Cavanacreagh, Tyrone, Ireland (son of John Hastings); died on 1 Dec 1837 in Markham Township, York County, Ontario; was buried in Dickson's Hill, Markham Township, York County, Ontario.

    Notes:

    Thomas always gave his name as Hastings or Heastings, although some records in Ireland show it as Hasty. He died before the first Canadian census was taken, and before cameras were invented. He was buried at Dickson Hill, due north of the town of Markham, 1 1/4 miles south of Buttonville, Ontario, and 1 1/4 miles east of the family farm, which was at the south-west corner of what is now called McCowan Road and 19th Avenue, Markham Township, Ontario.



    Thomas was born on the family farm in Cavanacreagh, just north of the Burn Dennet River, County Tyrone, Ireland (about 7 miles south of Londonderry) on Dec 25, 1778. It would appear that his father's name was John. Thomas and Sarah married in Ireland about 1803. Sarah was born in Black Hills, Newtown Cunningham, Donegal, Ireland in 1784. Documents vary in the spelling of her last name (Mitchel or Mitchell).

    Thomas, his wife, and six children arrived in Canada in November 1818. They spent the first winter in (muddy) York (in 1837 renamed Toronto). They had seven more children, all of whom were born in Canada. On April 1, 1829, Thomas Hastings purchased the east half of lot #30 in the sixth Con. in the Township of Markham in the Home District in the Province of Upper Canada for 87 pounds, 10 shillings.

    In 1853, Sarah sold the farm comprising the East half of lot 30, concession 6, Markham Township to her son, Thomas Hastings. Thomas then promised that he would support his mother and that she could reside in the home for her remaining years. In addition, Thomas promised to pay his mother 50 pounds annually. Document was witnessed by William Hastings. She sold 100 acres of land to son, Thomas for eight hundred pounds.

    Thomas married Sarah Mitchell about 1803 in Donegal ?, Ireland. Sarah (daughter of James Mitchell and Mary ??) was born in 1784 in Black Hills, Newtown Cunningham, Donegal, Ireland; died on 11 Dec 1861 in Markham Township, York County, Ontario; was buried in Dickson's Hill, Markham Township, York County, Ontario.

  2. 13.  Sarah Mitchell was born in 1784 in Black Hills, Newtown Cunningham, Donegal, Ireland (daughter of James Mitchell and Mary ??); died on 11 Dec 1861 in Markham Township, York County, Ontario; was buried in Dickson's Hill, Markham Township, York County, Ontario.

    Notes:

    From the document dated July 1853 entitled "Bond Thomas Hastings to Sarah Hastings", the following is summarized. Sarah Hastings sold the farm comprising the East half of lot 30, concession 6, Markham Township to her son, Thomas Hastings. Thomas then promised that he would support his mother and that she could reside in the home for her remaining years. In addition, Thomas promised to pay his mother 50 pounds annually. Document was witnessed by William Hastings.
