Zebulon Haskell, W. 23181 BA-J/MCS
Mrs. Walter N. Haskell 943 21st Street Rock Island, Illinois
Dear Madam:
The data which follow were obtained from papers on file in the pension claim, W. 23181, based upon the military service of the only Zebulon Haskell that is found in the Revolutionary War records of this office.
Zebulon Haskell was born in Rochester, Massachusetts. The names of his parents were not given.
He enlisted from Rochester and served with the Massachusetts troops as follows: in 1775, eight months as corporal in Captain Earl Clapp's company in Colonel Cotton's regiment; in 1776, twelve days as sergeant in Captain Earl Clapp's company in Colonel Cotton's regiment; in December, 1776, fifteen days as private in Captain Joseph Parker's company in Colonel Sprout's regiment; in May, 1778, two days in Captain Joseph Parker's company in Colonel Sprout's regiment; in September, 1778, six days in Captain Joseph Parker's company in Colonel Sprout's regiment; from July 30, 1780, nine days as sergeant in Captain Jonathan Church's company in Colonel White's regiment.
Zebulon Haskell married December 20, 1792, Susannah Sherman. She was his second wife, name of first wife not given. He married Susannah Sherman in Rochester, Massachusetts.
He died September 2, 1831, at Steuben, Maine, aged seventy-eight years, six months and eighteen days.

As the widow of Zebulon Haskell, Susannah Haskell was allowed pension on her application executed May 27, 1853, at which time she was eighty-five years of age and was a resident of Steuben, Washington County, Maine, having moved there about 1809. She was living in Steuben in 1855.
The widow, Susannah Haskell, referred to her son in 1853 but did not give his name.
In 1853 one Delia Haskell of Rochester, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, aged seventy-five years, stated that the soldier was guardian of her father.
There are no further data relative to soldier's family.

Parker Jaques S. 21316 BA-J/AWF
Mrs. Walter N. Haskell 943- 21st Street Rock Island, Illinois
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request correct date of death of Parker Jaques, this office having stated that it was September 2, 1835, and the General Accounting Office furnishing you the information that he was living in 1848, also, the Revolutionary War record of Zebulon Haskell of Massachusetts.
The date of death of Parker Jaques given in letter to you of September 27, 1937, was taken from an old Agency Book used at the time payments of pensions were being made, and according to the records of the General Accounting Office, is incorrect. The date September 2, 1835, pertains, perhaps, to the pensioner named above or below Parker Jaques. That date will not be used, of course, in further reports from this office.
A corrected history of Parker Jaques is furnished you herewith to be used in place of the one dated September 27, 1937. The record of Zebulon Haskell is furnished, also.
Very truly yours

Madam:-
In returning herewith your letter of the 24th ult o , you are advised that Susannah Haskell, widow of Zebulon Haskell, made an application for pension on August 2nd, 1853, at which time she was residing at Steuben, Maine, and 85 years of age, and her pension was allowed for the actual service of her husband as a private for 23 days, a corporal for 8 months and a sergeant for 21 days in the Mass. troops, Revolutionary war; a part of the time he served under Capt.

Mr. A. H. Hellen Executive Assistant to the Administrator Washington, D.C.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of September 27, 1937 in regard to the pension of Parker, Jagmes , S. 2136. We had a report from the BA-3/AWF. General accounting office, stating the last pension payment was made March 6, 1848. Your letter stated that he died September 2, 1835. Is it possible that the date of his death was a mistake? In the Vital Records of Newbury, Massachusetts, it states that Parker Jagmes was born March 11, 1754 and died May 13, 1848. This was two months after the last pension payment was made at the Merchants Bank, Boston, Mass., to his

attorney.
I should also like to have you send, any information you can furnish in regard to Zebulon Haskell . According to "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in the War of the Revolution", there were three Zebulon Haskells who fought in that war. The Zebulon I'm interested in, is the one born, I believe, in the year 1734. He was the second husband of Elizabeth Choate Haskell Haskell. She married Haskells twice, as I myself have married Haskells twice. One of their daughters was named Susannah born March 9, 1768 married March 1, 1785 Reason Moses Haskell born at Gloucester, Mass. March 23, 1761.
I know you only have pension records in your department but thought perhaps some enlightening information might be contained in the application for pension.

Thanking you for any information you are able to extend me. I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Ruth Haskell
