Anthony Haswell (printer)
Anthony Haswell (6 April 1756 – 26 May 1816) was an English immigrant to New England, where he became a newspaper, almanac, and book publisher, the Postmaster General of Vermont and one of the Jeffersonian printers imprisoned under the Sedition Act of 1798.
==Immigration and Revolution==
Anthony Haswell was born in Portsmouth, England on 6 April 1756, the second son of shipwright William Haswell and his first wife Elizabeth Dawes. In late 1769 or early 1770, following his remarriage, the father took Anthony and his brother William to Boston and apprenticed them before returning to Portsmouth: Anthony as a potter, William as a shipwright. William soon followed their father back to England and would serve for four decades in the Royal Navy while Anthony was left alone in America, his only local kin being his father's cousin, William Haswell, a Royal Navy Lieutenant with a young daughter Susanna Haswell (later Rowson) and son Robert Haswell.〔Farmerie,Spargo〕
Witnessing the Boston massacre, Anthony became interested in the politics of the time. He left his potter's position, in August 1771, and was apprenticed to printer Isaiah Thomas,〔Spargo〕 who published the radical ''Massachusetts Spy'' at the Boston location currently occupied by the Union Oyster House. Haswell is said to have been a member of the Sons of Liberty and to have composed ballads for the movement. In April 1775 Thomas was forced to evacuate his press from Boston, moving to Worcester where publication continued. During Thomas's Revolutionary War service the paper was leased and from August 1777 to June 1778, Anthony Haswell published it under the banner of ''Haswell's Massachusetts Spy''. Haswell also served in the Revolutionary War although the details of this service have been lost.〔Spargo. A published biography of a grandson reports that he served in the Siege of Boston and at the Battle of White Plains. Jonathan Fairbanks and Clyde Edwin Tuck, ''Past and Present of Greene County Missouri'', vol. 1 (1915), pp. 720–722.〕
In 1778 Haswell married Worcester native Lydia Baldwin and following Thomas's return, the family went to Hartford and then Springfield, where in 1782 Haswell teamed with Elisha Babcock to found the ''Massachusetts Gazette''.〔Spargo〕 The following spring, however, he was enticed by the government of Vermont to relocate to Bennington.
