Biography

Deborah was born on 28 May 1757. (A merge profile showed that Deborah was born in 1752, which fits better with the marriage year of 1772.)

"Deborah and John Haschel, Int. May 25, 1772. [Meachem, and John Harskell, m. May 25, 1773. C.R.I.]"^[1] They had the following children born in Granville, Hampden, Massachusetts:^[2]

• Zechariah Haskell, b. 5 Jan 1775
• Jeremiah Haskell, b. 5 Jan 1776

According to DAR records, John and Deborah also had at least the following children:

• Mary Maria "Polly" Haskell, b. 15 June 1783; m. 8 Feb 1802 Peter Derry III; d. 11 Aug 1819
• Comfort H. Haskell, b. ca. 1795 New York; m. Ruth Carpenter; d. ca. 1840 Newport, Herkimer, New York

NOTE: There is a lot of distance between the 2nd and 3d and 3d and 4th child, so it is probable that there were more children.Watt-266 15:09, 6 February 2017 (EST)
