Additional Information |
John Haskell was a native of Gloucester, Massachusetts, the son of John and Polly (Goodhue) Haskell. He was a captain of ships involved in commerce with China and the East Indies. Haskell died at sea while returning from India. (See Ulysses G Haskell, ‘A Short Account of the Descendants of William Haskell of Gloucester, Mass.,’ Historical Collections of the Essex Institute 32 (July-December 1896): 133-195 [esp. p. 175].) This volume was defaced by an unknown descendant, who used it for his own accounts in the 1960s. Please note that some of the metadata for this document has been drawn from the Winterthur Library catalogue. |
