Family Notes
• The Haskins family was among the first settlers of Greenbush, their farm being one on which the largest part of the village now stands. The family consisted of James and his wife whose maiden name was Lydia Martin. The family consisted of two sons and one daughter, John, Ezra, and Hannah. Mr. Haskins was a man of unusual push. Everything had to move wherever he went. As an evidence of his energy, his whole farm of 100 acres was cleared of timber in a few years and in a comparatively short length of time he was enabled to move his family from the little log house into the large stone house in which Clifford Hall now lives.993
