Spring Break trip to Arkansas

We took a trip to Arkansas for Spring Break. While visiting Benton County, we found Bethel Cemetery (just north of Decatur, AR) where our Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather Henry C. Hastings is interred. He came to Benton County in 1835 and served as county treasurer for 14 years. He was a farmer and cabinet maker. Three generations of our family lived in Northwest Arkansas prior to moving to Texas and then to Oklahoma. We have made contact with Glen Hastings, a distant cousin, who has been doing Hastings family research since 1985. He has agreed to share his research with us. Posted by Picasa
