History of St. Albans, Maine
by Gladys M. Bigelow and Ruth McGowan Knowles
Heritge Books, Inc.

page 4 and on to 5:
The first settler was Judah Hackett and family of Epping, NH who came here
to settle in 1800 and built a log house on what has been called Hackett's
Hill, about two miles northwest of St. Albans village. His daughter,
Susanne Hackett, married Isachar Cook from Wakefield, NH.
She spun her yarn at home, carried it on horseback through the woods, wading
across Mainstream to Cornville, to find a loom to weave it, then back
through the wilderness.
To add to the settlement on Hackett's Hill came Joseph Watson in 1804 with
his family.

Abel Hackett & Judah Hackett are listed as two of the 22 families living in
Fairhaven (later changed to St. Albans in 1816) according to 1810 census.

The 1816 list of voters for the Town of St. Albans includes:
Judah Hackett & Abel E. Haskell.

*not sure if there is a typing error between Abel Hackett in 1810 and Abel
E. Haskell in 1816 so included both.
