Finally after almost a year of research and gathering documents, I was able to verify that George Soule, Mayflower passenger, is my 10th great grandfather.
George Soule was born in England about 1595, and as a young man became a teacher to Edward Winslow’s children. George came to America on the Mayflower in 1620 as an indentured servant. He was one of forty-one signers of the Mayflower Compact. He was among the one half of the population that survived the first winter in Plymouth and was present at the time of the “First Thanksgiving” in 1621. He died in 1680, leaving a sizable estate.

RE: Jacob Sr. Soule (1745-1822) m. Meribah Lewis (1740-1829)
I am wondering if you know who are the parents of Meribah Lewis. Any information would be helpful. Thanks.
Hi John,
Sorry it took so long to get back, but I’ve been on a road trip since July 6th. Unfortunately, I don’t have any info on Meribah Lewis’ family.
