• Notes

  Thirteen years after marriage to Rebecca Marsh they left for Fremont, Ohio but being threatened by Indians they continued on to Fairport where they settled, subsequently living in Mentor. Reference Chronicles of the Haskell Family Ira J. Haskell Ellis Printing Company, Lynn, Massachusetts, 1943 Page 101 _____ Jesse Haskell and Rebeckah Marsh were born at Brookfield, Madison county, NY...On July 11, 1811, they started for Ohio and arrived at what is now Freemont on Sandusky Bay July 19, 1811. Just before the War of 1812 the Indians were so threatening that they were forced to move and settled first at Fairport and later at Mentor. Reference Haskell Family Notes written by Virginia Root while researching the family in Mentor, Ohio. No references given. _____ Jesse Haskell lived for a time at Sacketts Harbor, New York, while there building a boat in which he and his family sailed across Lake Ontario, from there hiring a team to take the boat, household goods, and family to Lake Erie. He intended to locate at the mouth of Raisin River, but the savages proved very hostile, one Indian saying, "Three moons we kill all white folks," so he continued his journey down the lake to Grand River landing at Fairport in 1812. A sound of heavy thunder was heard and a black cloud apparently overhung them, but the noise, however, and the cloud proved to be the sound and smoke of that famous battle in which the gallant Commodore Perry won his great victory, the scene of the conflict being sixty miles away. Subsequently locating in Lake County, Jesse Haskell, who had a land warrant, settled in Kirtland, but soon found that he had taken possession of the wrong tract of land. He then settled at Skinner's Landing in Grand River, on the property now occupied by U. S. Breed, it being a mile north of Painesville. He cleared a farm from the forest, and lived there until his death at a good old age.
