Sixth Generation

56. George SOULE (`~) was born on 15 August 1709 in Dartmouth, Bristol County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, British Colonial America.^22,23,29

"There is a tradition that he was married a third time, and somewhat obscure records point to such a conclusion. He was a devout Quaker and worshiped for many years in the Meeting House built on Quaker Hill, so-called, which was the common gathering-place for the people of that sect in the Oblong and Nine Partners. The records show that he suffered great oppressions from the Loyalists in consequence of his religious faith and his refusal to sign the oath of allegiance to King George. Several requisitions were made upon his flocks and herds. He died intestate and administration was granted on his estate to his son Nathan Soule of Pawling, 'Miller,' Dec. 9, 1793. Children named Mary, Content, Alice, Nathan, John, Sarah, Ann, Elizabeth and Thomas."
