Excerpt from Memoir of Ralph Haskins
Ralph Haskins was born in Boston, April 5, 1779. He was the son of John and Hannah (Upham) Haskins, and the youngest of sixteen children.
His father, John Haskins, was an old and much respected citizen of Boston, where he was born, March 12, 1729. In early life a cooper, in partnership with his step-father, Thomas Hake, he later became a distiller, and amassed a handsome property, principally in real estate. He was a man of distinguished integrity, a firm Episcopalian, and of conservative politics, although he seems to have sympathized with the Whigs in the early stages of the Revolutionary agitation. He remained in Boston during the siege, but, immediately after the evacuation of the town by the British, took the oath of allegiance to the State. Before the Revolution he was interested in military matters, and was lieutenant, and in 1772 captain, of a company in the Boston Regiment.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the captivating life and multifaceted contributions of Ralph Haskins, a prominent Bostonian whose impact extended beyond business and into realms of military service, agriculture, and religious leadership. Growing up as the youngest of sixteen children in a prominent Boston family, Haskins embarked on a daring voyage to the Pacific Northwest as a supercargo at the age of twenty-one, his adventures during this expedition meticulously detailed in his journal and later published in the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Upon his return, he established himself as a successful merchant and became actively involved in the Boston Hussars, a distinguished cavalry company. Haskins's keen interest in agriculture led him to purchase a farm in Roxbury, where he experimented with new farming techniques, played a pioneering role in introducing and developing the Cream-Pot breed of cattle, and became a recognized authority on horticulture. He was also instrumental in establishing St. James's Church in Roxbury and exemplified unwavering religious faith throughout his life. The author provides a rich tapestry of Haskins's personal life, his relationships with family and friends, and his unwavering commitment to his beliefs, offering a nuanced portrait of a man whose diverse contributions left an enduring mark on Boston and beyond.
