William of Gloucester, known as Junior and as "Capt." this last because he was a master mariner, and as the majority of his descendants followed the sea, it is the exception that does not have this title. He was brought up in the trade by his father, and lived in Gloucester all his life.

Mark and his wife Jemima were dismissed from the second church in Gloucester, Mass., to the church in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Mark was the first Haskell to ever settle on Deer Isle, Maine and he took up a lot of land at Northwest Harbor situated between that of the pioneer Levi Carmans on the northwest and that of his son Francis Haskell on the southeast. It was about 1768 when Capt. Mark, Sr. at an advanced age of life and accompanied by some of his family, left what was then known as Sandy Bay in the town of Rockport, Massachusetts, and sailed for Deer Isle, here to begin life anew and to cast his lot among the few other adventurers who had settled prior to him.
After residing here several years, he expressed a great desire to once more visit the scenes of his youth and to see the friends and relatives whom he had left behind, fearing that in his old age he would not enjoy this privilege many years longer. Coincidently, his grandson, Ignatius Haskell, Esq., had a vessel undergoing preparations for a trip to Newburyport and Mark concluded he would go on her. Accordingly, he arranged his business affairs before embarking, and stipulated with his grandson, Ignatius, that for his future support, he should convey to the latter his title and right as a settler to the property he owned at Northwest Harbor.
The vessel soon sailed with Mark as a passenger, but it proved to be his last voyage, as he was taken sick in Massachusetts about two weeks after his departure and died there.
As a consequence, the right of his estate, by virtue of his own and some of his sons occupancy, became, upon a division of the land and the terms of the prior stipulation, the property of his grandson, Ignatius, who continued to own it up to the time of his decease. The lot contained 250 acres, running about two miles, in a northeast direction from the Northwest Harbor, and a part of it has, for many years, been known as the Rye Field lot.
In 1723, a schooner belonging to Gloucester, commanded by Capt. Mark Haskell, was boarded by the pirate John Phillips who was informed that a man whom he wanted by the name of Tillume (?) was one of Haskells crew. The history of Gloucester says no record was preserved as to the pirates treatment of Haskell and his crew, but an account of the affair, on the part of Tillume or Tilton (?) who was taken, can be found in the eleventh volume of the New England Historical Register. By this it appears he was grandson of Abraham and Deliverence Tilton, of Ipswich, whom I have presumed to be the grandparents of Marks wife Jemima, and his mother would not allow him to go to sea until he was nearly twenty-one years of age, and then only on condition that he should ship in the Dolphin a sloop commanded by Captain Mark Haskell of Cape Ann, then in port fitting for a fishing voyage. They were off St. Pierre when boarded.
