DAVID HASKELL, farmer and stock raiser, P.O. Range, was born in Oneida County, N.Y., June 16, 1812. He is a son of James P. and Sarah (Carpenter) Haskell. The Haskells originally came from England and Wales in 1639, and landed in Massachusetts. Mr. Haskell's grandfather, Jonathan Haskell, moved to near Utica, N.Y., where he died in 1832, at the exceedingly old age of one hundred and three years. Mr. Haskell's father was born, lived and died in New York State. Mr. Haskell remained at home until August, 1832, and in 1835 he came to Ohio and located in Madison County, having spent the intervening years traveling through the South. In 1838, he moved from London to where he now resides. He has always been engaged in farming and stock-raising, and has met with well-deserved success in his business transactions. On October 9, 1837, he married Ann Kenton, a daughter of Simon and Phoebe (Baker) Kenton. The former was a nephew of Simon Kenton, the celebrated Indian hunter. Mr. Haskell has had by this marriage four children, viz.: Sarah, Louisa (deceased), Martha and Clarissa (deceased). Mr. Haskell was the only one of his father's family who came West. He is a stanch and enthusiastic Democrat, and takes a deep interest in all the public issues, and in all matters pertaining to the welfare of his county. He served three years as a member of the Board of County Commissioners, and for twelve years was a Justice of the Peace.
