Hiestand is a Mennonite family which has been represented chiefly in the Franconia and Ontario conferences of the Mennonite Church (MC). The progenitor of the North American Hiestands was one Abraham Hiestand, a member of the Reformed Church in Switzerland, who was born about 1703 and as a young man immigrated to Pennsylvania. In eastern Pennsylvania he and his wife united with the Mennonite Church. A deacon in the Lancaster Conference (MC) bore the name Hiestand, as did Preacher Jacob Histand (1791-1877) of the Franconia Conference (MC), and his well-known grandson, Bishop A.O. Histand (1869-1943) of Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Paul W. Histand, a nephew of the latter, was pastor of the Trevose Heights Mission.
