• Notes

  On April 19, 1731, a will was filed of a Samuel Haskell, minor of Beverly, by his sister, Hannah Woodbury. It is possible that the expression, "minor" could indicate that the document has been drawn during late childhood and never changed. Again, there is ground for assuming that this Samuel could have been subject to some mental or physical defect. This view is substantiated, in part, by the fact that while he possessed many lots of land, he depended upon his nephew, William, to handle any transactions. In addition, uncle William, who had acted as guardian for him while he was a minor, in 1704 made over his holdings to nephews John and William. Their part of this document sets forth that: "We say in consideration of these premises we jointly and severally will pay all his debts***and furnish clothing and lodging etc." This quoted agreement was to be in force for four years before their possession of the property was to be actually taken. In 1730 he signed a release to his father's estate as did his niece Mary (daughter of William). It seems most probable that he left no heirs. Reference Chronicles of the Haskell Family Ira J.
