Hastings was born in Churchill, Oxfordshire in 1732 to a poor gentleman father, Penystone Hastings, and a mother, Hester Hastings, who died soon after he was born.[2] Despite Penystone Hastings's lack of wealth, the family had been lords of the manor and patrons of the living of Daylesford in direct line from 1281 until 1715. It was relinquished after there had been a considerable loss of family wealth due to support given to Charles I.
In 1788 Hastings bought for £54,000 an estate at Daylesford, Gloucestershire, including the site of the Hastings family's medieval seat.

Have added this line to his G grandfather:
Amm assuming it comes to here:
This Simon Hastings ESQ is from Daylsford and also married a Gardiner:
Simon Hastings, Esq, of Dailsford, co. Wore
This Simon has similar dates (I added the first so maybe not that Simons above)
His line is different, and I wonder if this Simon, son of Sir George Hastings, M.P.; 4th. Earl of Huntingdon; 5th. Baron (Lord) Hastings of Is in the wrong place?
Just need a few generations so need a good reference.
