Research Notes
spelling of surname - Jesse's immigrant grandfather was Henrich Hiestand, and most of Henrich's children spelled their surname "Hiestand". However, Jesse's father, Daniel Hiestand, changed the spelling of his surname from "Hiestand" to "Haston" by the time Daniel had moved from Virginia to Knox County, Tennessee. As such, Jesse was born with the surname "Haston" rather than Hiestand. Hiestand-529 00:58, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
