• Notes

  William Haskell and his wife Abigail were born, married, raised their family, and died in Greenwich, Hampshire, Massachusetts. Greenwich is not listed on modern maps and no longer exists. Greenwich and several other small farming communities were completely submerged by the development in 1938 of the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts. The reservoir was created to supply fresh water to Boston. The town was incorporated in 1749 and dissolved in 1938. William Haskell was a mechanic.
