There are some records of Edward Hastings of Daylesford, or of Elford, in Common Pleas. Not called a knight, though:

1473 Hastyng, Edward, of Elford, gent

1500 Hastynges, Edward, of Daylesford, gent

Also a knight, but this is a different person, Baron Hastings:
1502 Kebell, Thomas, sergeant at law, executors of; (Mome, Robert, clerk; Coton, Thomas, esq; Hastynges, Edward, knight; Mary his wife)
