Canadian Relatives

A few weeks ago I was in contact with a man in Minnesota who was trying to find out who Sally Hastings was.  It seems that he had inherited a large collection of photographs of people he didn't know.  He thought they were relatives and after reviewing them we determined that they were relatives but very remotely.  Many of the people in the photographs were more closely related to our Hastings clan.  For that reason he sent copies of many of the photos to me.

Many members of the Hastings family left New Hampshire and moved to Canada, just north of the New Hampshire / Vermont border.  Most of Joseph Hastings' children were a part of this migration.  Joseph Hastings (1777 - ) is the brother of my GGgrandfather Asa Hastings (1792 - 1876).

Joseph had a son Asa Hastings (1804 - 1886).  His first wife, Rebecca Wells died in 1836 at 25 years.  Asa then married Sarah Paige Carpenter (1816 - 1889).  After careful analysis we determine that

Sarah Paige Carpenter was Sally Hastings the focus of the Minnesota search.
