Mid-America All Hastons Gathering - Fall 2026
Exact date and details to be determined with input from interested attendees.
Descendants of Daniel Haston settled in all of the areas within and around the Mid-America circle on the map above. Many of our “H families” (Haston, Hastain, Hasting, Hastin, Hastings, and probably other spellings) are still living in this general area. Let’s get together in Springfield, MO, for a couple of days next fall (2026).
- Daniel’s son, Jesse Haston, settled in Howard County, MO, before 1820.
- Jeremiah Haston, another son of Daniel, settled in Dallas County, MO, in the late 1830s.
- Isaac Haston/Hastin, another son of Daniel, settled in Greene County, MO, in the late 1830s.
- Some of David Haston’s children settled in various counties of MO during the last half of the 1800s.
- Some of Joseph Haston’s children settled in Arkansas and Missouri in the 1870s.
- Lots of these families spread to OK, TX, KS, NE, AR, IA, and other places within an easy day’s drive (400 or fewer miles) from Springfield, MO.
And, there’s an excellent airport right there in Springfield!
