     Well, Pete, it was a good idea while it lasted.  I DID turn
up one HASKEL - DENISON marriage, but the names and dates are a
little off.  However, for what it's worth, here's the
information:
  
  -  From E. Glenn Denison, Josephine Middleton Peck, and Donald
L. Jacobus. "Denison Genealogy: Ancestors and Descendants of
Captain George Denison."  Stonington [CT]: The Pequot Press, Inc. 
Copyright 1963 by The Denison Society, Inc.  Page 135:
  
    "2025 LUCY P DENISON (Hen C - Saml - John - Robt - John - Geo)
b June 9 1808; m Aug 29 1825 Nahum Haskell.  Children (HASKELL):
  
     3905 Sarah D m Hen S Chase.  Had 4 chn.
     3906 Henry C D.
     3907 James N.
     3908 Lucy Perrin b Woodstock, Vt."
  
There's no further information on this family.
  
     I then took a stab at a couple of HASKELL books.  Both were
hard to use and of questionable value.  These were:
  
  -  B. Lake Hoyes, M.D.  "Deer Isle Pioneers (including
Stonington) Maine."  1901; revised 1928.  This is nothing more
than a set of bound galley proofs; evidently the author never
quite finished it, or else he couldn't afford the printing and
publication costs.  It has no table of contents or index.  Though
the catalog card indicated only one volume, I got a slip with the
book saying "The other volumes asked for are not on the shelf" -
so if anything's missing, I can't tell what it is.  I flipped
through this "book" but didn't see any mention of a DEN(N)ISON.
  
  -  Ira J. Haskell.  "Chronicles of the Haskell Family."  Lynn
[MA]: Ellis Printing Co., 1943.  This also has no index, and the
chapter headings are very creative.  In addition, though each of
the later chapters is followed by a summary descendancy chart, the
charts use almost NO dates.  In Chapter 12, "Branch of Ensign
William and his sons: Wm. of Harpswell, Mark of Deer Isle and
James of Harvard," I did find mention of Nahum HASKELL's marriage,
as follows (page 200):
  
     "Nahum m 1st Lucy Perrin Deneson [sic] 5 ch.   Woodstock, Vt.
              2nd Mary (Patton) Raymond
              Henry E.D., Lucy B., Naham [sic], Jr.
              Jas. Nelson m Lorraine had Chas. N.
              Sarah D. m Dr. Henry Chase            to Iowa"
  
From other parts of the chart, I learned that Nahum's ascendants
were James (m Sarah POLLARD), James (m Lydia WHITCOMB), James (m
Anna GOODHUE).  Beyond that, I got lost in the intricacies of the
chart.  There's probably more in this book, but it'd take a day to
dig it out!  However, if you'd like me to copy pages from it,
please let me know.  I'll be unavailable for the next couple of
weeks, but will be able to tackle it after that. ... Sue Budlong
