Joseph Haskell was a son of John Haskell, a Revolutionary soldier, who was wounded three times while in the service. John Haskell removed from Gorham, Me., to Knox, Me., where he died. Joseph Haskell went to Otisfield from Gorham, Me., in 1801, or near that date, being then about ten years old. He rode on horseback behind his uncle, Oliver Pierce, and brought with him among other belongings a tin box containing five dollars in silver. The box being not quite full, the coins rattled about, making so much noise that his uncle made him dismount and fill the vacant space with leaves. He resided in Otisfield about seventy years, engaged, after reaching manhood, in farming and trading in cattle and horses. He was a Captain of the State militia, and he was often chosen Constable and Collector. Captain Haskell died in the village of Norway, May 2, 1876. His wife, Jerusha Moores Haskell, died there two years later, May 8, 1878. Her father, Major Jonathan Moores, the grandfather of Peter N. Haskell, was a soldier of the Revolution. He subsequently removed from Groton, Mass., to Otisfield, Me., being one of the first settlers of the town. His wife, Relief Nutting Moores, made three trips from Otisfield to Groton on horseback. On the first trip she carried her one-year-old son, who would have been the first white child born in Otisfield had she not been taken with an ox team to Gray to stay during her confinement, owing to the lack of a woman to nurse her at home. Captain and Mrs. Joseph Haskell were the parents of six children - Rhoda, Jane, Susan, and Cyrus, all deceased; Mary Ann, widow of Eben Andrews, residing in Concord, Mass. ; and Peter N., of Waterford, aforenamed.
Dover, Shawnee county, Kansas
Dover was made a voting precinct of Auburn township, October 1, 1860, and in the fall of 1867, was erected into a township. E.M. Hewins was the first trustee; Jacob Haskell and George Harden, Justices. The first postmaster was Alfred Sage, appointed in 1862. The family name, Sage, is still widespread in the area today.
During its peak years, Dover had a match factory, a wagon making business, two grist mills, two blacksmiths, an Inn and Stage Coach Station, livery stable, General Store, three cheese factories. When looking at output figures, two of the largest cheese factories in the US were in Dover. The stone house cheese factory, built between 1856 and 1865 still stands today. The stone 1878 Sage Inn & Stage Coach Station, and the General Store built in 1900 also survive. (Wikipedia)
