A Genealogical Account of the Descendants of Thomas Hastings of Watertown, Mass. by Lydia Nelson Hastings Buckminster:
Thomas married Anna Hawkes in 1672 and moved West to to the Connecticut River Valley and settled in the village of Hatfield, Massachusetts. He became a respected doctor which must have been a relief to his father who was to say later, "I have been at great charge to bring him up a Scholar and I hope he will live well by his arts and learning." Dr. Thomas practiced medicine for some 40 yrs. and served as town clerk for two decades. His was a frontier practice and as such, he treated many injuries sustained in skirmishes with the Indians and also wrote one of the best contemporary records of the devastating 1704 attack on nearby Deerfield.

Problem 1:
I searched the entire cemetery and could not find the grave
Details:
I mapped and photographed this entire cemetery in 2016. All photos have been uploaded to FindAGrave. If you don't find a picture of a headstone, then one does not exist. The stones you're looking for, if they were there, would have since disintegrated due to the age of the burial. You can find additional info here: https://hatfieldhistory.weebly.com/resources.html
