It's interesting that the census never lists him as a silversmith, but as a traveling merchant. I had an ancestor from Litchfield CT who was also a traveling merchant Then he eventually took up silversmithing on the side. I'm not related to Volney Haskell- I am just interested in his background. Thanks so much for sharing. Marguerite
