"Early in the French and Indian war, he entered the army, and was taken prisoner at Fort William Henry, Lake George, August, 1757. He was sent to Canada, thence to France, and lodged in the Rochelle prison, where he remained about a year, when he was exchanged and sent to England. The expedition to Canada under General Wolfe was nearly ready to start at this time, and he joined it; was at the taking of Quebec, 1759, and assisted in carrying General Wolfe to the rear, when mortally wounded. In 1760, he returned to his home in Waltham, after an absence of several years. His friends had long since numbered him with the dead, and probably it was his estate, mentioned by Bond as "administered by brother Josiah, 1758." [Note: Bond, p. 287: Children of Joseph Hastings and Lydia Brown: 5) Eliphalet, "estate admin. by br. Josiah, 1758". Footnote by Bond suggests that the Eliphalet who married Susan Fiske was "perhaps" his son.] On the breaking out of the War of the Revolution, he again volunteered; was commissioned as Captain, and became a pensioner."[3]
