Keep in mind: Confirmed. The entry is in vol. VII (not vol. XI, which holds only entries for his men). The tree's single person 'Benjamin Hastings (of Bolton)' is dated 1702-1756 and merges two men (Hastings review, sec. 1 and 6): this page belongs to the Bolton captain, husband of Abigail Sawtell, who is not shown to be the Benjamin baptised at Watertown in 1702.
