- Elinor/Ellin Foule's maiden surname is variously reported as Foule, Frowde, or Cook.
_____
Elinor's place and date of birth are not known. Her birth date is estimated based on the date of her marriage to William and the baptismal dates of their seven children that are recorded in the Charlton Musgrove Parish Registers.

Sometime after her husband William's death in 1630 and whether in England or New England is uncertain, the widow Ellin/Elinor married as her second husband and his second wife, one John Stone. Stone had two sons, John and Nathaniel, by a previous marriage. The date when Ellin/Elinor and the Haskell children, Roger, Willliam, and Joan, and Stone and his two sons emmigrated from England to Massachusetts is unknown. The only possible clue found thus far is:
"9 April 1635, In the Elizabeth de London prd Mr. William Stagg bound for New England The underwritten names have brought Cert. from ye Minister of Hauckust in Kent (Attestation from two Justices of the Peace, being comfortable to the Church of England) that they are no Subsedy Men. "
Among the names listed, John Stone age 40 yrs. In any case, the family was certainly in New England by 1636 when Roger Haskell was granted twenty acres of land in Salem.
The Stone family settled on the Basse River side of Salem, MA, the part that is now Beverly, then known as Cape Ann side. Here Stone kept a ferry between 26 December 1636 and 25 December 1639 (Perley, 1:405). Stone received ten acres of land in Salem in 1636 and an additional thirty acres on 1 January 1638 (Perley, 1:457). Doubtless, the younger Haskells, Roger, William, and Joan, were among the seven members of Stone's family in 1637 when he was granted an additional acre of land in Salem (Perley, 1:460).
Roger Haskell made his will on 27 May 1667 and in it he referred to John Stone as his father-in-law, a term once synonomous with step-father, which certainly adds credence to the belief that Stone was indeed Elinor (Foule) Haskell's second husband (ECQCR III:427,428). Although Elinor's name is conspicuously absent from the records she was mentioned in the court records in November 1660 when she was called, "Ellin, wife of John Stone Sr." (ECQCR II:252). Neither Elinor nor John's death dates are known however, Elinor apparently died between 22 November 1662 when John referred to "Elinor my now wife," in a deed and 1667 when her son Roger made his will (ECQCR III:427, 428). In a letter dated 19 March 1926, the late Charles Banks alluded to a will made by Mrs. Elinor Stone, in which she made bequests to her sons, Roger, William, and Mark Haskell, but if such a document ever existed it did not survive in the records. John Stone died between 8 April 1669 when he acknowledged a deed to William Dodge (Essex Co. Deeds, 3:61) and 1677 when his son John and wife were called John Stone Sr. and wife Abigail.

_____
William and Elinor [Foule] Haskell had seven known children. The children's "birthdates" are baptismal dates.
Probably in the spring of 1635 or 1636, John Stone, Elinor, and three of her Haskell children (Roger, age 21, William 16, and Joan 6) sailed from England (most likely from Bristol) and settled in the "Basse River" section (Cape Ann side, now Beverly) of Salem, Massachusetts. John Stone engaged in farming and fishing but also operated a ferry across the Basse River between the two settlements. It is not known with any certainty whether John Stone's sons of his earlier marriage accompanied their father to New England.
_____
Only some of the Haskell children made the passage from England to Massachusetts with their mother and stepfather. Cecille, age 19, stayed with her uncle Mark and his wife Melior, who removed, by September 1635, to Penselwood, the next parish east of Charlton Musgrove. On 30 July 1637 Cecille married Edward Cobe of Wincanton at the Penselwood parish church. Of Dorothy, who would have been 12 years old, or of Elizabeth, who would have been 7 in 1635, no record other than their baptismal dates has been found either in England or in The New World.
