Forward
I am pleased to present this book telling our small place in the Haskell Family. Please understand that I have attempted to provide accurate information but sometimes the information was not available and sometimes the information was conflicting. I attempted to present what I thought was the most accurate but sometimes is was nothing more than an educated guess. I hope that you enjoy reading this and comments would be most welcome. Dedication
This work is dedicated to all the Haskell generations that come after me and my siblings. I wished that every previous generation would have left a little insight into who they were and what life was like for them.
Acknowledgements
I would like to acknowledge the work of Ira J.Haskell who in 1943 publish Chronicles of the Haskell Family. This book was invaluable to me as I worked on the British and early colonial Haskells. I would highly recommend that book to everyone with an interest. Secondly, I would like to acknowledge Ulysses G. Haskell who wrote Short Account of the Descendants of William Haskell of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Thirdly, I would like to acknowledge Bessie M. Haskell Peterson who wrote an unpublished story of her life during the Great Depression. Her grandson has told me that there is a plan to have it published in the near future. Lastly, I would like to thank Ancestry.com. This tool was
the work horse of my research.
