Thomas was born about 1690. Thomas Haskell ... He passed away in 1785. [1]
He was buried in Eastern Cemetery, Portland, ME.
William, Roger and Mark Haskell came from England in 1656. William settled at Cape Ann. His son Benjamin, born in 1648, married Mary, daughter of Thomas Riggs of Gloucester, Mass. Thomas son of Benjamin and Mary, was born in Gloucester in 1689 and came in the year 1726 to Falmouth Neck. From him the Haskells of Gorham desend. He was one of the first embodied into the church on the settlement of Mr. Smith in 1727, and was one of the selectmen of Falmouth in 1731; a very respectable, worthy and influential citizen. Parson Smith in his Diary for 1726, in speaking of his coming to Falmouth, says, "One Haskell, a sober sort of man with his family." We find that he was a Proprietor in Gorham in 1758, in which year he sold the right No. 76 to Solomon Haskell. He married Mary Parsons of Cape Ann. Thomas moved from Falmouth to Gorham, and lived nearly opposite the Col. Tyng place very near the spot now occupied by the house built by the late Samuel E. McLellan. It seems probable that he lived with one of his sons, William or John, probably with the latter. He owned a negro slave, Prince, baptized July 21, 1751, by the Rev. Mr. Wight of Windham. Mr. Haskell died Feb. 10, 1785, aged 96, leaving, it is said, seventy-nine grandchildren and fifty-eight great-grandchildren.
