William Haskell and Elinor Foule were married about 1612 in Wincanton, Somerset.
Their children born in Somerset, England.
Roger Haskell baptized March 6, 1613.
Cecilie Haskell baptized June 6, 1616.
William Haskell baptized November 8, 1618.
Mark Haskell baptized April 8, 1621.
Dorothy Haskell baptized November 16, 1623.
Elizabeth Haskell baptized April 30, 1628.
John Haskell baptized March 1, 1629.
Joan Haskell baptized March 1, 1629.
John Stone and Elinor Cook were married after 1630 marring in England.
John and Elizabeth sailed for the colonies in 1635 and settled in Salem and relocated to Beverly in 1637/38. The last record of Elinor occurs on Essex deeds up to 1650. She disappears from the records after this.
William Haskell was Churchwarden at the Church of St. Stephen in Charlton Musgrove, England in 1627 – 1628. He married Elinor Foule in 1600/1. They had seven children who were baptised in Charlton Musgrove, Somerset, England. The three sons, Roger (bp. 6 Mar 1613/14), William (bp. 8 Nov 1618), and Mark (bp. 8 Apr 1621) emigrated to Massachusetts in the New World. Most Haskells in the U.S. are descended from one of these three brothers. Roger married Elizabeth Hardy in 1639 and had ten children. William married Mary Tybott in 1643 and had nine children. Mark married Hannah Woodbury, the widow of James Patch, in 1658 and had two sons. William has the most descendants, Roger has then next most descendants, and Mark, with only two sons, has the fewest descendants.
Of the four daughters of William Haskell and Elinor Foule only Joan emigrated to the New World. She may have died on the voyage or upon arrival. Nothing more is known of her. Cecille remained in England and on 30 July 1637 she married Edward Cobe of Wincanton at the Penselwood parish church, Somerset. Their descendants, if any, are not known. Dorothy and Elizabeth are thought to have died young in England; there is no further record of them.
From David A. Haskell, Past HFA Historian/Genealogist:
Elinor/Ellin Foule's maiden surname is variously reported as Foule, Frowde, or Cook. Contributors to the Haskell Journal of the Haskell Family Association prefer to use Foule, pronounced to rhyme with "goal". Elinor's first husband, William Haskell, Sr., died in 1630. Sometime after his death, and most likely in England, Elinor married John Stone, who had two sons from a previous marriage, John Jr., and Nathaniel.
Probably in the spring of 1635 or 1636, John Stone, Elinor, and three of her Haskell children (Roger, age 21, William 16, and Joan 6) sailed from England, most likely from Bristol, and settled in the "Basse River" section (also called the Cape Ann side, now Beverly) of Salem, Massachusetts. John Stone engaged in farming and fishing but also operated a ferry across the Basse River between the two settlements. It is not known with certainty whether John Stone's sons of his earlier marriage accompanied their father to New England.
The youngest son, Mark, on 26 April 1635 was apprenticed by the Overseers of the Poor for Charlton Musgrove to John Whiting, a broadweaver of Shepton Mallet, Somerset, for a period of nine years. The Overseers of the Poor were probably acting "in loco parentis" rather than alleviating a poverty case. There were no disbursements to any Haskell family in Charlton Musgrove and no record that William's widow or his children ever were a burden to the parish.
Since Mark was less than 14 years old when his mother was planning to take the family to New England with John Stone, we do not know if he or his mother was allowed any say in his future or if the Overseers, backed by the parish courts, arranged the apprenticeship. The clerics of the parish courts were not likely to be Puritans or were they likely to look kindly upon emigrants. By April 26th, the date of Mark's apprenticeship, the family might already have embarked for the New World. Sometime between the end of Mark's apprenticeship and 30 Sept 1652, when he was fined by the Salem Court for "wearing broad-lace", he had arrived in Massachusetts and settled in the Basse River section of Salem. (Ref: the above two paragraphs concerning Mark are taken, with slight revision, from Howard V. Williams in the "Haskell Journal: Journal of the Haskell Family Society" Vol. 9, #2, pp 558-576, 1993.)
