• Notes

  Captain Mark Haskell, Jr. emigrated to Deer Isle with his family in 1778 from Newburyport, Massachusetts. Upon his arrival, he commenced business with his two sons, Ignatius and Solomon, and the land they occupied was purchased by them about (1772) six years before settling here, from Ezekiel Marshall, another of Deer Isles pioneers. This purchase included what has since become the most valuable land at Northwest Harbor, known as Haskell's Point; and it is now the property and lots upon which are located the stores and business centers of the present town of Deer Isle. Captain Haskell took his two eldest sons, Ignatius and Solomon, into partnership, and the firm was known as Messrs. Mark Haskell and Sons. They profited well by their saw mill as logs were then in abundance and the demand for lumber was good. The saw and grist mills stood until about the year 1858, and were then the property of John P. Johnson, Esq. They were also the principal promoters of the ship-building industry here, constructing brigs, schooners and other craft, one of which was a ship of about four hundred tons burthen, a large one for those days. Considering the era in which they lived, it can be justly stated they were a very flourishing firm and extensive property owners, controlling at one time more than a thousand acres of land. Solomon, the junior partner, removed to Newburyport and extended the business there in which his father and brother had an interest. Captain Haskell died in 1810 and the partnership was then dissolved. Solomon remained in Newburyport, but continued, with zealous interest, his business and real estate affairs at Deer Isle in connection with his brother until his death, which took place in the former town, in the year 1828. The control of the Deer Isle property then fell to the care of Ignatius Haskell, the surviving member of the firm.
