"(2136) George Soule's origins in England have not been discovered. The most promising record found to date is the baptism of a George Soule on 9 February 1595 at Tingrith, Bedford, son of William. Other Soule families using the name George can also be found in Sudbury, Suffolk, and Flitwick, Bedford. George Soule came on the `Mayflower' as a servant to the Edward Winslow family, indicating he was under 25 years old at the time; however, he did sign the Mayflower Compact, suggesting he was over 21...

"(ix) Benjamin Soule was one of the "impressed soldiers" called out by the Plymouth Colony on February 8, 1675-6, and under the command of Capt. Michael Pierce was engaged in the ill-fated battle against outnumbering Indians who out-generaled him, led him with his men into a cunningly arranged ambuscade and hewed them in pieces. From the town of Scituate fifteen were slain; from Marshfield, nine were slain; from Duxbury, four were killed, among them Benjamin Soule....

"It appears that in 1662, [(vii) Elizabeth Soule] fell from grace by committing adultery with Nathaniel Church, to whom she was engaged to be married; he refusing to fulfill the compact, they were both convicted of the criminal act and each was fined ś5. However, the alliance was continued and for the second offense both were publicly brought to the whipping post and the lash applied. Refusing to recognize his obligation to take her as his wife, she sued him for breach of promise for the sum of ś100. He was convicted by the court, and the jury awarded her ś10 and costs of suit. She was subsequently married to Francis Walker.

"In 1667 [(iii) Nathaniel Soule] was fined ś20 ($100) for publicly scandalizing his minister, Rev. John Holmes; ...in 1671 he was fined ś5 and publicly whipped `for telling several lies which tended greatly to the hurt of the Colony.' ...in 1674--he was again brought to the whipping post and publicly flagelated as punishment for committing adultery with an Indian woman; and was ordered to pay `ten bushels of Indian corn' towards the keeping of the child.

"During the excitement against the Quakers (i) John Soule was fined for his interference upon their religious services 2d Oct., 1660."

"David Thomas' death record is not in the vital record book, however I do have the inventory here with the date of 12 Dec. 1689. It says, "Joanna relict widow of the within : named David Thomas (can't read this word) approved before William Bradford Esq." then goes on to name the others. It seems Joanna inherited the whole of it, quite unusual in those days. Mary and Joanna Thomas are both listed in Boston Vital Records on pgs. 156, 161 and the dates are assumed to be the date they were submitted and not their date of birth. There are no gravestones for the parents David and Joanna. In the book "Thomas Families of Plymouth County, Mass." written by John Marshall Raymond (Thomas Family Publications, 1980) has a reference in the notes that say Joanna (Davis), I believe Davis is in reference to one of the contributors of the book and not her maiden name."

REF: http://trees.ancestry.com/

The above family is commonly reported on the Internet, but the best researchers say that (2136) George Soul's parents are unknown

"The "Mayflower Families ..." article says "In the chapter written by Banks for Gideon G. T. Ridlon's 'Sole, Solly, Soule, Sowles and Soulis', Banks had cited as the father of George Soule, Robert Soule of Eckingham whom, he reported, had three sons, Thomas, Robert and George named in his will of 1612. Banks' concusion was that George the youngest son, 'answers best of all the candidates ....' However, later in the same chapter he stated that the parish records prior to 1612 had been lost but that 'an examination of the years remaining show that a George Soule married in 1631 and that a Nathaniel Soule, presumably his son, was baptized three years later'. This then disposed of George, son of Robert, ..." The article further states that recent research has not produced the parents of George Soule."
