REF: personal notes on the Haskell family genealogy written by Betsy Ann Haskell Noyes.
Thomas cultivated a farm in Strafford, Vermont, given him by his father, but finding himself embarrassed by becoming surety for ithers, was obliged in 1812, to sell his farm and remove to Chelsea, Vermont, ten miles distant, where in company with another man he purchased another farm, paid his part of the purchase money, but his associate failing to pay the other part, the farm reverted at the end of the year to the seller and Thomas was reduced to poverty.
In September 1813, he removed his family to Compton, Canada East, and purchased another farm pleasantly situated at the headwaters of the Passumpsic River. Seven months later due to Indian concerns he removed to Hanover, New Hampshire.
