Isn't it about time that some energy goes into solving the issue of who Squire's wife was? (Meaning was she a Chandler? or a Russell?) Maybe we can find her family?)

Leslie,

I'm not trying to start a "flame war" either and, as I mentioned previously, I do agree with you on the "Hascol" surname, it may be worth listing as an alternate on an individual, but I've never seen it used in a widespread manner. The "Hascall" variant on the other hand is pretty historically significant and at the very least should be represented as an alternate, but the argument could easily be made that "Hascall" should be the primary with "Haskell" as an alternate. There are living descendants, of both John and Squire, using the "Hascall" surname today and they may be searching for their ancestors under it.

Again, not trying to start a "flame war", but civil discussion is the only way that these types of decisions can be settled.

Carey,

I didn't think you were suggesting anything -- you didn't change the name, and the name wasn't changed to Hascall. It was changed to Sqier Hascol. That's why I changed it back.

I wasn't trying to be snotty, I promise. I recently got a message asking me to change the name (you probably got the same message). I said no and gave my reasons, and the name was changed anyway. I'm not trying to start a flame war on Wikitree.

Leslie,

I'm not suggesting a name change based on one source, the use of the "Hascall surname by the descendants of John Hascall is very well documented, in both primary and secondary sources. The 1940s book "Chronicles of the Haskell Family" devotes a specific chapter to John and his descendants and cites numerous primary sources within it.

Also, the Hascall surname is still in use by many people in the United Sates, 586 according to the 2000 census, one of those using the "Hascall" surname is the current historian/genealogist of the Haskell Family Association.

At the very least, a notation should be included in the bios of John, Squire and subsequent generations that the family's preferred spelling of their surname is "Hascall".

As for the "Hascol" surnamet, I have seen that variation occasionally, but it never has seemed to last from generation to generation and has generally been chalked up to a spelling or transcription error.

Yes, I had some Haskells and some Hascalls but ended up with duplicates and a big mess. Also, I never had any Hascols, nor have I seen that version of the name. I don't think it's good policy to change a last name because it's spelled that way in one source.

While I understand the inclination to standardize surname spellings, the surname change from Haskell to Hascall was made by Squire's father John in the late 1600s/early 1700s and the Hascall surname is one that has been kept by the majority of John's descendants over the centuries, to this very day. That fact should probably be taken into consideration before making any final decision on the spelling of Squire's surname.

I did not give my approval for the last name to be changed to Hascol. I've worked to standardize the spellings of names in my tree to make profiles easier to find and to avoid duplicates. Please don't change the name. You can add Hascol as an alternate spelling if you feel you must.

Hascall-10 and Haskell-1578 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person. I unified the spelling of the Hascalls and Haskells in my tree because it made them easier to find.
