Note: WILLIAM H. HASKIN was born 16 Oct 1816 in Onondaga County, New York and he stated that his parents were John and "Sally" Haskin. Around the age of eleven, he and his family moved to Chautauqua County, New York and just before his thirteenth birthday his father passed away. Before 1838, William was living in Titusville, Crawford County, PA. William was recorded as one of the members of the Methodist congregation at Samuel Winton's cabin. By 1838, William married MARY WINTON who was born in Crawford county on 2 May 1820, a daughter of Samuel and Margaret (Coil/Coyle) Winton. William and Mary had two daughters in Titusville. The first daughter was named after his mother and the second daughter was named after Mary's mother.

During this time, William studied to be a minister with the United Brethren Church. The United Brethren Historical Center did not have a date recorded in Crawford county but he was recorded as a minister by 1850 in Wisconsin. About 1848-49, William moved his family to Verona Township, Dane Co., Wisconsin. He and his family were on the 1850 census. Mary's brother, Nathan Winton, moved with them to Wisconsin and lived a few houses down from them. Several Haskin's moved at this same time period to Oregon Twp., Dane county, Samuel W. and Susanna (Wilbur) Haskin, their two sons John W. and Barney and SALLY NEWLIE (NEWBRE); John and Hannah (Haskin) Searles/Serles; Peter Haskins and family were in Dane county 1847 - 49 and then he moved to Richland county, Wisconsin. According to the Wisconsin Land Records (Document #12943), William H. Haskin purchased 40 acres in Oregon Twp., Dane county on 1 Jan 1851. The same property was listed in 1848 as being sold to SALLY NEWBRE.
In 1854, William moves his family once again to Excelsior, Richland Co., Wisconsin. According to the book History of Richland County "The first man to cut brush for the purpose of improving in the vicinity of Excelsior was W.H. Haskins. In 1854, he purchased the southwest quarter of section16, at which place Knapp's Creek furnished an excellent water power, and here he erected a sawmill." It further states that W. H. Haskins equipped it with an old fashioned sash saw. He later sold the property to ROUSE & Chapman and they sold to Knowlton & Coates. William also opened the first blacksmith shop in Excelsior in 1867.

Their daughter Margaret J. Haskins married DAVID MOTTER, JR. on June 7, 1863 in Richwood, Richland Co., WI. David is the son of David and Ustatia Jones Motter. David was born June 29, 1836 in Carroll Co., IN. William and Mary's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, was already married by 1860 to George B. Rouse. They were listed on the census next to William's family as: GEORGE B. ROUSE (age 22) and wife SARAH (age 20) with a baby GEORGE (age 10/12). Sarah and her family moved to Nebraska.

William was very active in his community. He served as a Probate Clerk for Richland county and he was elected as a constable in April 1877 and again in Nov. 1877. William was elected as a Justice in 1882 for Richwood, Wisconsin. In fact, William was the Probate Clerk on David Motter, Sr.'s estate.

In 1884, tragedy struck this small family. Their oldest daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Haskin Rouse, died in Nebraska and was buried in the Haskins Cemetery in Richland County. Only the year of death was recorded on the cemetery records and is listed in the book "Here They Sleep."

On March 20, 1884, The Republican & Observer stated that "The residence of Rev. Wm. Haskin. One mile from Excelsior was totally destroyed by fire last Saturday morning about two o'clock. The family had barely time to escape with their lives. Nothing was saved except a cook stove and a few articles of bedding. The loss is between $1,500 to $2,000 with no insurance."

The following year, April 11, 1885, Mary Winton Haskin died. In the book "Here They Sleep" it lists Mary in the Haskins Cemetery and that she was 64 years old, 11 months, and 9 days. The cemetery is located on and one fourth miles south of Excelsior in Richland County. Mary's obituary was printed in the Religious Telescope, dated May 13, 1885:

"Mary Haskin, wife of Rev. Wm. Haskin, of Richland Co., Wisconsin, died April 11, 1885. She embraced religion when but fifteen years of age, and since that time lived a life devoted to Christ. She was a kind and faithful wife for forty-seven years. She passed away in great peace. She has gone to rest, leaving behind many loving friends. She leaves one daughter, the only (living) child, who lives so far away that she could not be present to comfort her bereaved and aged father in his last hours." ---D. C. Wood

After Mary's death, William was a minister to the United Brethren Church in Fennimore, Grant Co., WI. On Jan. 2, 1887, William married a widow in his church by the name of Mary Ann Wheeler Stewart. She had one daughter by the name of Susan Switz. On the marriage record filed in Grant county Rev. Haskin stated that his parents were JOHN and SALLY HASKIN and he gave his residence as Richwood, Richland Co., WI and his place of birth as Onondaga County, NY. Mary Ann Stewart stated that she was born in Albany Co., NY and that her father was John Wheeler and her mother was Caroline Wheeler. They were married in Fennimore by Rev. Leander Pound.
During this time, there was a division in the United Brethren Church. A few of the churches remained United Brethren the rest became Methodists. The church in Fennimore decided to change to the Methodist doctrine. William felt that the Methodists were too radical so, at his own expense, he built a chapel at Fennimore to be used as a United Brethren Church. This Fennimore Chapel is still used today.

On Sept. 20, 1894, William died as the result of a fall. An article from the Grant County Historical Society: "Peaceably he passed away. In good health, he was suddenly taken away, from the shock sustained by being thrown out of the buggy. He reached an advanced age, his years of like numbering 77. He was a true man, and an earnest, zealous Christian and his kindly face will be missed in social and church circles. He belonged to the United Brethren faith, and was an indefatigable worker in the cause of Christ." He was 77 years 11 m. 4 d. old. William was buried in the Fennimore Prairie Cemetery.

The Christian conservator, on Dec. 19, 1894 published the following article on Rev. Wm. H. Haskin (Please note there are a few discrepancies...date and place of birth. William stated many times that he was born in Onondaga County, NY and he was 77 years 11 m. and 4 days when he died on Sept. 20, 1894):

"REV. WILLIAM H. HASKINS was born in the state of Pennsylvania, September 11, 1817. When perhaps eleven years of age he was taken to Chautauqua County, New York, to live.

His first marriage was to Mary Winton in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, with whom many years ago he moved to Wisconsin, where for many years he was a traveling preacher in the Wisconsin Conference and where he had many seals to his ministry. As age came upon him he retired from the itineracy, but continued to the last to take a lively interest in the church of his choice and in the advancement of the kingdom of Christ. One of is his last works was the construction of a chapel at Fennimore, mostly at the expense of himself and wife for the use of the United Brethren in Christ, in whose communion he had lived and labored so long, the society here being shut out of the church which they had assisted to build, and to the use of which they were justly entitled. He was a good man, true to his convictions, and devoted to the reform principles of the church of his choice. His neighbors of Fennimore and vicinity felt and manifested a deep interest in his affliction and in his death.

Father Haskins had two daughters, the older of whom, Elizabeth (Sarah E.), died some years ago, leaving children who are now somewhere in the state of Nebraska. His Younger daughter, Margaret, is still living and is now in Lewis County, Washington.

The daughter and the grandchildren were therefore too far away to be called to the funeral. About nine years ago, Father Haskins first wife was taken away by the hand of death; and about two years later he married Mrs, Mary A. Stewart with whom he happily spent the last seven years of his life, and who now, aged and afflicted survives him and mourns the loss of a good and beloved husband, whom she hopes to meet in heaven when life's day is spent. Father Haskins was one of the pioneer ministers of his conference, in the the beginning.
He was faithful unto death, and has, we trust gone to his home in heaven. But neither pen nor tongue can express the worth of a faithful Christian and Christian minister. It is ours to bow to the devine will and thank God that this father in Israel was spared to us so long." By James Appleby
