Brig.-Gen. William L. Haskins, re- |
tired, who was stationed at Fort Pre- |
bic, South Portland, some time ago, /
and who IS now living at New London /.
Conn, had applied to Clerk Of Courts !
Llewellyn Barton at Portland, for !
certificate CT the record of the birth |
q his son, Lawrence s. Easkias, who |
was horn at Fort Preble, Oct. II, 1881 /
Gen. Haslins wrote that II was neces-
sary TO have the record in order that /
his son might secure an inheritance /
from relative in England. The coun-
ty CLERKS not keeping the record OF |
births, Clerk Barton sought the neces- /
sary information from the South Fort
land city clerk, but was informed that |
previous to 1892 WHEN law was pass |
ed TO the effect that city and town ,
clerks keep a record of births, no re- |
cord Of Lawrence S Haskin's birth, |
which occurred in 1851, was !
made by the city clerk. The ply |
stefan who was present at the birth, |
DR.. Webster, is now dead, SO no record |
can come from him How young Mr. ,
Haskins will secure the inheritance |
from his relative in England remains |
to be seen as there seems to be no |
way in which to secure the record of |
his birth as the only one who is known |
to have made a record is dead
