George Soule's origins have not been discovered. The most promising rec ord found to date is the baptism of a George Soule on 9 February 1595 a t Tingrith, Bedford, son of William. However, recent DNA testing has no w shown this Bedfordshire Soule family was not the direct ancestor of G eorge Soule. Other Soule families using the name George can also be fou nd in many other places counties across England in the 16th and 17th ce nturies. DNA testing has eliminated the predominant Soule families of G loucester, Worcester, East and West Sussex, and Bedford. Louise Throop h as published a reasonable hypothesis that George Soule may have been de scendant of the Sol family of Leiden, who were involved in the printing p ress.
George Soule came on the Mayflower as a servant to the Edward Winslow f amily, indicating he was under 25 years old at the time; however, he di d sign the "Mayflower Compact," suggesting he was over 18, and probably o ver 21. This puts his birth year at around 1595-1602. This matches well w ith his apparent marriage date of around 1625 at Plymouth: by the May 1 627 Division of Cattle, he was married to Mary [Beckett], and they had h ad one son, Zachariah.
George Soule and family moved to Duxbury very early on, and he was a de puty to the Plymouth Court for a number of years beginning in 1642. He h ad volunteered for the Pequot War of 1637, but Plymouth's troops were n ot needed. He was on various committees, juries, and survey teams, duri ng his life in Duxbury. In 1646, for example, he was appointed to the c ommittee to deal with Duxbury's problem of the disorderly smoking of to bacco.
George Soule made out his will on 11 August 1677, and added a codicil t o it on 20 September 1677. The codicil is quite interesting as it gives a l ittle insight into a family squabble between son John and daughter Pati ence:
If my son John Soule above-named or his heirs or assigns or any of them s hall at any time disturb my daughter Patience or her heirs or assigns o r any of them in peaceable possession or enjoyment of the lands I have g iven her at Nemasket alias Middleboro and recover the same from her or h er heirs or assigns or any of them; that then my gift to my son John So ule shall be void; and that then my will is my daughter Patience shall h ave all my lands at Duxbury and she shall be my sole executrix of this m y last will and testament and enter into my housing lands and meadows a t Duxbury.
