Looking for information on the family name of Hastie. My g.g.grandfather
b.May 8, 1805 in Scotland named William Hastie. Family tales say born
somewhere around the Ft. William area and associated with the Cameron
Clan. He is said to have skippered the ship "Stirling Castle" but don't
have any clue to where to check this out. He married a Jane Sanderson b.
Feb. 1822 and moved family to Canada around the 1840's. My interest is
where this individual was from in Scotland and any links to the surname
"Hastie". A crest in my possession spells the name "HAESTE" but can
find no other link to this spelling. Any help greatly appreciated as to
where to begin my search.
