    It would be interesting to know who were the parents of Major Reginald Mowbray Chichester Abney-Hastings (formerly Huddleston). Is he related to the Marquess of Donegall?

His Lordship dsp 2 Oct 1789, and the ancient Baronies of Hastings, etc, devolved upon his eldest sister, Elizabeth, Countess of Moira and were carried by her into the Rawdon family, and are now possessed by the Earl of Loudon; the Earldom of Huntingdon became suspended, and so continued until claimed by Hans Francis Hastings, who succeeded in establishing his right thereto, and had summons accordingly, 14 Jan 1819.
