• Notes

  Michael Haskell was a master mariner and captain of the brig "Good Hope" of 180 tons, of Salem to China. Reference The Descendants of Thomas White of Marblehead and Mark Haskell of Beverly Compiled by Perley Derby, Press of David Clapp & Son, Boston, 1872 Page 55 _____ Michael died unmarried. In 1783, he bought the farm beside his father's "at the Ferry" and in 1802 some land and buildings bounded "by the highway, Salem Harbor, and N. E. in Mark Haskell's cove." He received most of the property of his brother William, who died, "at the farm" in 1798. The will of Michael is illuminating in many ways. His land and building went to his nephews, Philip and John White, except the "strawberry lot" which went to Ambrose Meserey. He specified "hard dollars" to some; others were given money in the Marblehead bank, while still others received stock in the Marblehead Insurance Company and the Social Insurance Company. Polly Haskell received his beads. One hundred and fifty dollars were allotted for his burial. His sister, Mary, lived with him. She left her personal property to her brother, Thomas, while her stock in the Marblehead Insurance Company went to the minister, John Bartlett, the dividends to be paid to her brother and his wife.
