Jonathan Hastings [#11], s/o Jonathan Hastings [#5] and Sarah Sharp, b. 1 Jan 1708-9, d. 16 Feb 1783, m. 30 Oct 1750 Elizabeth Cotton. "Jonathan the f. grad. H.C. 1730, was Justice of the Peace and Steward of Harvard College. In 1742 he purchased the estate on the easterly side of Holmes Place (afterwards owned by Rev. Dr. Holmes and his family), which was thenceforth his residence. He was an ardent patriot in the War of the Revolution, and his house, the same which is now standing, was the head-quarters of Gen. Ward in the early part of 1775. From this house, the last probably which he ever entered, Gen. Joseph Warren departed, on the morning of 17 June 1775, to the field of glory and death."
