• Notes

  Research by the Haskell Family Association genealogist, September 2013 resulted in changing the spouse of Elizabeth Davis, born 19 July 1755, from Solomon, born February 19, 1740 to Solomon, born November 26, 1750. The elder Solomon was assumed to be the spouse of Elizabeth Davis, since he was the only Solomon born in Harvard, Massachusetts where Solomon and Elizabeth were married in 1774. New information found in the younger Solomon, clearly indicates that he was also in Harvard in 1774. The pension file of Solomon Haskell lists his birthdate of November 26, 1750, in Cape Ann, now Gloucester. It further states that at the time of his application that he was living in Fitchburg. [Jonathan Haskell, son of Elizabeth and Solomon was living in Fitchburg per 1830 census with elderly adult male.] It states that he was living in Harvard during the war, then moved to Littleton, then to Walpole, N.H., and finally settled in Fitchburg, where he was living in August 1832. In addition to the pension information, the DAR application of Mable L. Deane, # 32901, indicates that Capt. Jonathan Davis was the father of Elizabeth Davis. She confirms that they resided in Wilton, N. H. and Fitchburg. The pension of Solomon states that he served under Captain Jonathan Davis. The evidence above supports the conclusion that Elizabeth Davis married the Solomon Haskell born in 1750, not the Solomon born in 1740. ______
