Daughter of Robert Runnels and Sarah Braley
Married George Niles Haskell, abt 1817, Vermont
Children - Chester Kise Haskell, Milinda Haskell, Sarah Haskell
History - She was born June 13, 1796, in Unity Township Maine. When she was a teen she met the love of her life George Nile Haskell whose father also fought in the American Revolution. They were married in 1815 in their home state of Maine.
The newlyweds left Maine and made their first home in Fairfield Vermont where all of Sarah's children were born. Soon after their marriage, Sarah gave birth to their first child Malinda in 1816. Four years later she went through the heartbreak of having three consecutive stillborn births in 1820, 1822, and 1824.
You can imagine her joy in 1826 when she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl that they named Sarah Elizabeth Haskell (Sarah 4). Six years later in 1832, she would have her first boy Chester Kise Haskell in1832.
Missionaries came to town in the 1830s and Sarah was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in1838. Her husband George Haskell was not baptized until 1846. Even though George was not a member of the Church he followed the call of the prophet and took his family to Nauvoo. When the war with Mexico started and the migration to Utah started he was called to enlist in the Mormon Battalion to fight against Mexico. He proved his allegiance to his country by accepting the call. He was 50 years of age at the time---past the age limit—yet he gladly accepted and went with that wonderful band of Mormon men to help defend the United States.
His wife, her children, and sister Sarah moved to Keg Creek until his return. He was in Company B of the Mormon Battalion; suffered many hardships, water not always available, lack of food, and forced to eat every part of the wild bull, even the hoof, the tops of their boots were eaten to alleviate the pangs of hunger, suffered from sore and bleeding feet, shoes worn out from traveling through the rough country, prickly pears and cactus made traveling extremely painful to them.

George Nile Haskell was in Company B. They were stationed as a garrison at San Diego, the other companies going on their way to Pueblo, de Los Angeles where they arrived on March 23, 1847. Henry Bigler and others of Company B cleared the first yard for molding brick in California. They joined the other companies in Los Angeles, Thursday, July 15, 1847. They were all honorably released on July 16, 1847. A few days later, George Nile in company with others who did not re-enlist, took up the line of march toward the east.
When George came back from the War and helped his family found Provo. In 1854 Brigham Young asked the family to move to California. They did so and took their daughter Sarah and her husband to found San Bernardino CA. When they were called back to Utah they all came back to save their son-in-law Ellis Ames.
