Haskins Family Research


HISTORY OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, 1737-1878. Philadelphia: Everts, 1878. p.303:
"Anthony Haskins came from Shaftsbury, Vermont, to Fort Ann in 1788. Settled near Thompson's. Of his children, Seth was murdered in Saratoga county; John was a Methodist minister, and with Isaac went to western New York; WIlliam and David settled in Chautauqua ; Ira went to Clinton county, and afterwards to Chautauqua; Franklin lived on the homestead; Martha became Mrs. Samuel Winegar, of Fort Ann; and Sarah died on the day she was to have been married. Franklin had a family of ten children; one died in childhood; the other nine are still living, the youngest being sixty years old. Anthony, Samuel, Ensign, and Martha Thompson, of this town, are four of these children." "Samuel Winegar came to this town about 1790, and married Martha Haskins. They had a family of eleven children. The only son removed to Chautauqua county about 1853. Two of the girls, Mrs. Weller* and Mrs. Farr, died in Fort Ann. The rest married and moved away." [*"Mrs. Weller" refers to Sally Winegar, b. 1790 who married Ira Weller, b. 1787]

* The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington, D.C. has compiled a "Patriot File" for Daniel Weller, which contains a five page typescript entitled: "Descendants of Richard Weller of WIndsor, Connecticut, Northampton and Deerfield, Massachusetts, as published in the American Genealogist by Claude W. Barlow." This transcript of the article says on page 3 that:
"Until 1781 Daniel and Lucinda lived in Lenox, Mass for at least during most of this time Daniel was in the Army and Lucinda probably remained with her family. Later they returned to Connecticut and probably lived in Sharon as their first four children were baptised in the Sharon Congregational Church. These were Nancy, John, Ira and zilpha. The fifth child, Lucinda, was born June 2nd, 1792 in Vermont probably at the home of Lucinda's sister Amy who married Deacon Philemon Wolcott and lived in Shoreham, Vermont. The remaining children Miriam, Samuel, Henry, William, Chloe and Eliza were probably born at Westfield, now called Fort Ann."
This research proves that none of Daniel Weller's children were born at Lenox, Berkshire Co., Massachusetts, as the LDS's IGI claims.
** Circumstantial evidence suggests that Hemon Haskin may have been a son of Anthony Haskins and Rhoda Goodrich.
