PRESIDENT'S PEN

Dear COUSlnS.

Welcome to the 1990's! Here we go into a brand new decade.

In November I travelled to Mountainside. NJ to the home of the late Dr. Terry to review and sort materials in the Soule Kindred archives. Accompanied by Betty Jean Haner and Geraldine Schlosser we earmarked some materials to be shipped to Tomah, WI to be utilized by the Historian in her genealog1cal efforts on behalf of Soule Kindred. Other materials are to be retained by Soule Kindred in the arch1ves in Albany, NY. Through the heartwarming hospttality of hostess Velma Terry, we accomplished the classification of materials in preparation for packing and sh1pping. On behalf of Sou le Kindred we extend to Velma Terry our deepest apprec1ation for her cooperation and mak1ng arrangements to ship these materials.

The information contained elsewhere in the newsletter regarding the 1 990 reunion in Montreal indicates that this wil l be a very attractive event for Soule Kindred members and we anticipate th1s will be a large reunion perhaps surpassing in size any previous reunions. Montrea l's proximity to the Upper Atlantic seaboard and New England states should provide an opportunity for additional Soules to attend t h e reunion, including i t in their summer vacation plans. We s hould emphasize that the registration for the hotel should be made directly with the Reunion Committee by MAY 1, 1990 to take advantage of our special rates.

Hope to see you there.

Jim Soule

FAMILY HISTORIAN'S REPORT by Geraldine Sowle Schlosser

Much as been happening in the Historian's Department in the last few months. First of all, I travelled to New Jersey in November to meet Pres. Jim Soule and Treas. Betty-Jean Haner at the Terry home. We sorted the material there. The name index cards and Col. John Soule's "red notebooks'' will be sent to Albany for later transfer to New England Historic Genealogical Society. The rest of the mater ial which includes r eference books and periodicals, plus filing cabinets and a bookcase will come to me. When it arrives, I hope to be able to catalog the library in order to make it more usable. The moving companies will take only a s mall load when there is room on a larger load going the same direction-- so we don't know when this transfer will take place. I hope that I'll be able to report in the next Newsletter that the move is finished.

# # # # # # # # # #

The other exciting development development is the purchase of a microfilm/microfiche reader/printer for the historian's use. Those of you who were at the Des Moines reunion realize how time-consuming it was to hand-crank my portable reader. This enables me to find thinas much more quickly, because the drive is motorized . When I locate the desired material, I can make a print of it, without having to copy by hand or typewriter. This should enable me to respond to questions more quickly. (There has been sort of a hiatus from Thanksgiving to the New Year, but we should be back on schedule soon. Please bear with me, those of you who have written and haven't had a response.)

# # # # # # # # # #

Watch for your November Mayflower Quarterly. There should be an article in it by Jane Schotland, SK member, telling how she solved the lineage of Sylve Sturtevant, who was the daughter of Hannah Soule s 1732-1795 (Zachariah•, Benjamins, John2, Georgel) and Church Sturtevant. Jane now lives in Arizona, but makes frequent trips back to New England where she grew up. While there last summer she was able to prove the lineage by using vital records. This lineage does not appear in Mayflower Families 3.

# # # # # # # # # #

Are you a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants? We would like to encourage you to join so that many lines to George Soule are on record in Plymouth. As historian, I would be willing to help you in any problem areas. The problems seem to arise in linking t h e 6th to the 7th generations . This is the time period when families were moving West, and vital records are scarce . Searching land and probate records often provides the needed information. Is there a member living in or near Schoharie County, New

My husband Jim has been at work creating a "Spouse Index" to the Soule Kindred Index prepared by Milton Terry. All of the spouse names will be listed in alphabetical order, naming their Soule spouse and number in the original index. This may help in finding a Soule ancestor. The work is rather tedious, so don't expect an early completion.

Assistant Historian Jack Sowles has been noting additions and corrections to the original index. We will try to get these in a form for printing soon. The format will be the same as the original index.

UECORDING OF FAMILY DATA By Geraldine Sowle Schlosser, Associate Jlistorian

One of the objectives of Soule Kindred is the gathering of information pertaining to the descendants of Pilgrim Gear~~ Soule. Mayflower Famil ies 3 covers the first 5 generations, to about 1800. Our fam ilies did a lot of moving around in the 19th century, and you can help locate migration patterns for family g~oups. That is wh) the Family Data Chart is printed in each issue uf the' Newslet.lt!t'. Our historian may be able to help you with that. "missing Link". So ploast: keep the information coming .

w ·~ I~() II 1 cl I i h t) t II tl II~" lJ tl l l.ll H L y \) IJ lH.! il i II \~ i \.II .Y \) u I ' ~ I :.. I I I ~enc t·at ion tU1t::estor from George Soule (or your tHH'liest Soule ancestor, if you haven't mad e the connection to George&), Fill out a form for that ancestor, and then submit forms 'for each of your uncnst.ors down to yoursel t'. Th I H j H espt~cially import.unt if you descend through a female line; Soule women who marry tend to become lost. Soules .

We'll give a short explanation of how to fill out the form . Samples were printed in V, 20, #2 and f3-- April and July, if you'd like Lo refer to those.

(1) The "Generation " space in the upper left corner shows the generation from the immigrant ancestor. Please leave it blanlt unleHs you are certain.

(2l In t.he far upper space on the right for "FANlLY", leave it blank lf the surname of "Soule Descendant" is SOULE, SOWLE, or· variants, ueeause we'll assign a code number for closely related family groups . If the "Soule Descendant" has a different surname, insert the name in the right upper space.

(3) The next two lines show the ancestors of the "Soule Desceudant" back to George Soulel, Unless you have an approved Mayfl ower Lineage or other positive proof, we s uggest this be left blank .

(4) When writing dates, follow the genealogical style-- first the day in numbers, then the month in letters, and the full year, such as 6 Feb 1833.

(5) When listing children on the reverse side, put in as much information as you can-- such as spouse's parents, if known.

(6) List your name and address as compiler unless someone else gathers the inf'ormation. We may need to contact the compiler.

(7) It is VERY important to list s ources of data; if tho it1formation comes from a family Bible or other record, a photocopy the information should be included. Other sources , such as Vital Records from towns or states, and census should be indicate~.

( 8) Lea.ve ''Verification" blank for our purposes.

(9) Please give as many clues as possible to facilitate further research. If you are uncertain about a date, enter it, but add "circa" or "ca". For questionable place names, add "possibly" or "probably".

LETTERS AND QUERIES

From Cleo L. Maley 1001 Shaftesbury Ct. Modesto, CA 95350

I have been trying to find authentic proof of the birth of a Soule descendant-- one Sarah Drake born in Nov of 1803. She married Allen Fox in Meredith, NY in August 1825. We think she was born in Milford, CT to Elizabeth Ferris Drake and Ezra Drake. This is the spot in which we are lacking proof. We surely would appreciate any help we can get on this. The documented lineage is as follows:

1. George Soule

2 . Patience Soule m. John Haskell

3. Elizabeth Haskell, b, Middleboro, MA, 2 Jul 1672, d. there Jun 1715 m, at Middleboro, before 1700, Thomas Drinkwater, b. England, 1665, d. MA, 25 Jun 1715

4. William Drinkwater, b. Middleboro, MA, 1701, d. New Milford, CT, 1757, or 1758, m. Ridgefield, CT, 18 Dec 1728, to Elizabeth Benedict, b. Ridgefield, CT, 1704, d. New Nil ford, CT, 30 Jul 1749

From Florence L. Keenan 133 Brighton Lake Rd Brighton, MI 48116

I am seeking further information concerning my ancestor, Aaron Soule , born in 1782 and married to Elizabeth Delano.

From Jeanette E. Taylor, Deer Isle, ME

While reading the July 1989 issue of the newsletter, I carne across an article concerning William Stinson Soule. Several of the books that W.S . Soule's photographs were in were authored by Wilbur Sturtevant Nye. Mary Chamberlain, my great - great grandmother, married a Levi Sturtevant in 1793 at Pembroke. Mary was a 6th generation of George Soule. Has anyone ever linked W.S. Soule and W. S. Nye as blood relatives?

MILESTONES

From Jeanette E. Taylor, Deer Isle, ME

My daughter Jean M McCrostie Embler and Donald C. Embler of Mt. Tabor , NJ are the pro ud parents of Emily Jean Embler born May 3 , 1989. Jean is a 12th generation of George Soule.

GENEALOGICAL l'll'FAI.I.S- OLD 1'11f.AI"\ I:"GS OF WORDS

It Is difficult to persuade those "'hu have not u\cd o riginal documents that ~pcllan~: was a r~thu c~'uul alTair from 1610·1~1() Words and even names "''ete spelled the ";ay they sounded 10 c~ch writer. In a sin,lc dccll, a man's surname may be spelled scverul d iftercnl ways. Indeed. not until about the Civil W~r did there suddenly appear to be a Mrig:1t" and a "wronc" way to spell words. and relatives st~ rlcd (eud inc over the "cor· reel" way to spell their family names.

Even the termlnolocy expressing family relationships was not as precise as today and the gcnca tocist who ~pplics only modern meanin~s to the terms cousin, In-law, junior, and spinster can draw some very wrong conclusio ns.

Here arc a few examr>lcs or the usc or these terms. ta\:cn (rom the Colonial period:

Cousin- altho ugh we usually apply the term rather strictly today to the children or our aunts and uncles, in the early days of our country, cousin often mcnnt nephew, niece, or an even more dist~nt relative. Perhaps this sort o r mc~ninc survives today among 'lersons who share the sa me remote immi· a rant ancestor, or merely descend from fellow passengers on the Maynowcr and yet :rddreH each other as "cousin."

Jn.J3w- a relationsh ip produced by taw, rathe r than by nature. Thus a m:m's father· in· law was either his wife's father or his own mother's new husb~nd. It is rather plain when a 14 year old boy chooses as suardian his "(ather·ln·law", that step-father is meant. The terms son-in· low, etc., hnd the same dual usaaes.

bJ' Mrs. Robert M. Sherman

Junior-one o r the most misleadin£ or all terms, for 1flhou£h we limit its usc today to rhc man who~c Cather l>c~rs the same name, 200 years ago it me.1nt ntctcly the youncer. mnn in town bc~rin~ th~ t n~me, be he cousan, nephew, cr~nd~on or seniCir. or even no rel~tion at all As milldlc names were virtually unl.nnwn until the lMOs, ~nd towns o ften hnd several fnmihc> or the s~me name, those who also cnrried the s.11ne farst name were bound to become danicult 10 dis­tin~;uish. They lessened the confusion for themselves (but not for us) by lobelhn(: the elder man Sr. and lhe younscr, Jr. When Sr. d ied or moved from town. Jr. stoprcd using the title . When n third o f the same name :!r>r>enrcd in town. this ~,nin altered the order. Visun lize, ir you cnn, the town of Wollincford, Conn. whue five men, nil hc:arinc the nnmc John 11~11. lived at the ~Jmc lime. They "' ere c.al leJ, fr um eiJe11 to younge\1, Sr .. Jr .. Jrd. 4th, ~nd 5th wath· Ulll re;.::atd 1\1 their (~mil)' tcf:tliton\hap H Jrd da~J or mu,ul frnm Ill""· 4rh >nd Sth then b<~nmc Jrd and 4th ~nJ ~o on. One m•y even find ucclls where a nann rerer> to ham· setr ~s "Jr .• formerly Jrd." Could there be a more conrusin~ satuatron7

The au thor h~s seen a will in Plrmouth. Mass. where a man named S~muel refer red to his sons Bcnj~min. Jr., S.nlUel, Jr ., and David. Samuel Sr. may well have had a brother in town also named Benjamin, thus Sumuel's son must be called Jr. to avoid leJ:al confusion.

Spinster--even more e~per ienc.d senealo· gists say this meaning hu not raced them so perhaps it is a Massach~sells phenomc:

non, however, the 1uthor has found enou~h enmpl~s using the term to mean "1 woman who spins" rather than the popular "an old mard" (both arc Webster dc~nit ions) to prove thM is not an error. We had spent some time chedin~ wills and deeds search•n& for various female M~ynower descendants "ho hnd married, and found documents dcscrib· tn~ women or those very names as spinsters. At lir~l we passed them up, but ftnall)' round proof that these were the women we souaht. Here arc two cxnmplcs we h~ve collected:
