The following is from "Ancestral History of the Pioneers of Deer Isle and their Descendants" by Benjamin Lake Noyes, 1899.

"Abijah Wheeler Haskell was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, March 19, 1754, and was named for his maternal grandfather, Abijah Wheeler. He was a pioneer to Deer Isle, with his father, from Essex County, Mass., about the year 1770 and settled on the lot of land now principally owned by Mrs. Mary J. Haskell, extending from the Dudley Thompson homestead, across the Scott's Landing road, to the shore. The remainder of his estate is mainly in the possession of and occupied by his descendants. Abijah followed farming all his days and was a good, moral man, always well spoken of. He and his wife died at Deer Isle and are interred in the Old Settlers Cemetery. He married Sarah (Sally) Cole, daughter of Benjamin Cole, Sr., who came to Deer Isle as a pioneer between the years 1767 and 1770, and whose son Benjamin, Jr., was for many years sexton of the first parish of Deer Isle.
