The Lydia Nelson (Hastings) Buckminster letters:
In 1866, Mrs. Buckminster published her genealogy of the Thomas
Hastings family -- the first descendant to take up the challenge and
she did a most commendable job.
These letters, all from early 1894, shed light on her challenges and
continued dedication to new and corrective research. The original letters plus many others relevant to
the Hastings and Coolidge families were passed down through a
corollary line by Mr. Dana M. Hastings and were donated to the New
England Historic Genealogical Society shortly after we received these
copies in March 2004.
