Children include William

William Haskell lived at Charlton Musgrove, a parish near Wincanton in Somerset. The clerk spelled his name Haskall, Hascall and Hascoll. He baptized seven children in the parish church over fifteen years: Roger on 6 March 1613/4, Cicelie on 6 June 1616, William on 8 November 1618, Marke on 8 April 1621, Dorothey on 16 November 1623, Elisabeth on 30 April 1626 and Joane on 1 March 1628/9. William's entry reads "Willm- HASCOLL," father "Willm-."

A family typescript of 1960 says he was churchwarden of the parish from 1627. Churchwardens were parishioners chosen each year to keep the church and its goods in repair, collect the church rate and report offenders to the bishop's court.

An Edward Hascoll was buried at Charlton Musgrove on 5 August 1629. William Hascoll was buried there on 11 May 1630. His eldest son Roger was sixteen and his youngest child, Joan, was fourteen months old. No Haskell marriage is in the register between 1600 and 1640.

The typescript gives his wife as Elinor. "His widow married John Stone although no record of the marriage has been found." It says that John Stone brought Elinor and four of her children, Roger, William, Mark and Joan, to New England in 1635. Of the other three daughters it says "There is no other information." The three sons settled together at Cape Ann Side, the part of Salem that is now Beverly. William moved on to Gloucester and became a lieutenant, a deacon and six times its representative to the General Court. Savage wrote that his descendants were more numerous "than of any other early sett. of G."

The typescript also mentions "a Mark Haskell who was living in the parish in 1623 - aged 50," and suggests he was "Father or Brother of William." Nothing else is known of him.
