Haskell spent the early part of his life on the family farm in Swanville, Maine and he was a farmer until the age of 44. According to a [[letter]] from Lillian Elinor (Field) Smith (1899-1974), in 1871 Haskell moved to Chelsea, Massachusetts to join one of his brothers in the trucking business in Boston, taking his son Frederick Eugene Miller Field (abt.1857-1931) with him. "At that time trucking was not motorized but 6 or 8 heavy horses drew a big drays (or wagons) which were used to haul from the boats to the wholesale houses throughout the city." Haskell remained in Chelsea, Massachusetts at least through 1880, but returned to Maine by 1910 after retiring.

DNA

• Paternal relationship is confirmed through Y-chromosome DNA testing. Kenneth Field Jr, FTDNA kit #918052, and his 9th cousin, Gregory Field, FTDNA kit #1002783, match with Y-700 SNP testing at haplogroup R-FTD12271, with 3 private variants for Gregory and 4 private variants for Kenneth, thereby confirming their direct paternal lines back to their MRCA Zachariah Field (abt.1648-abt.1715).
