Daniel Haston Family Association
Researching and Preserving the History of Daniel Haston's Extensive Family
A 501 (c)(7) IRS-Approved Association
Rescuing from oblivion the history and stories of our early Hastons and related ancestors.
Daniel Haston was an American pioneer born in northern Virginia. In about 1783, he moved his family to what is now East Tennessee and eventually settled in what became White County of Middle Tennessee.
His father, Henry Hiestand, immigrated to America from the German Rhineland in 1727. However, the Hiestand family originated in Canton Zürich, Switzerland. They were Anabaptists (Mennonites) who had to flee their Swiss homeland because of persecution for their simple Biblical faith.
Daniel, a first-generation born-American, was a very simple man with 13 or so children and dozens of grandchildren who scattered from Tennessee throughout the Midwest, Southwest, Western states, and pretty much all over the United States.
An Association of Daniel Haston’s Descendants and Other Folks Who Are Interested in Daniel and His Extensive Family
Daniel’s father, our earliest immigrant ancestor, was Henrich Hiestand. The original Hiestand surname first appeared in 1401. The name has morphed into many different spellings–Haston, Hastin, Hasten, Hasting, Hastings, Hastain, etc. Regardless of how our “H” names are spelled, we are all members of one big family.
You certainly don’t have to carry one of those names to be a part of The Daniel Haston Family Association. Anyone related to the family, directly or indirectly, is welcome to join us as we seek to research, preserve, and honor the history and heritage of the vast Daniel Haston family.
We would like to see the association grow, not only as a repository and disseminator of historical information but also as a group of committed family members who could assist with Haston-related projects. For example, one goal would be to raise funds to help with the upkeep of some key cemeteries where our ancestors are buried.
We will be making known some of the association’s financial needs along the–annual costs of our website as well as some opportunities to assist with some Haston heritage projects.
To become a member of our association, go to "Register" on the main menu at the top of the page. Also, please share this page with others who might have an interest in joining the Daniel Haston Family Association.
