Biography
According to the famous Pulitzer Prize winning Historian, David McCullough, history is simply “who we are and why we are the way we are.” How can anyone possibly dislike that? Over my years as a Professor of History, I have come to appreciate that history should be a compelling story that opens a window to the past, provides insights for the present, and wisdom for the future." Ray Sickinger, Ph.D Professor Providence College
“He who has no feelings of veneration for his predecessors should expect none from those who follow him.” NFA Founder, William Emery Nickerson Wilbur-403 06:54, 12 January 2016 (EST)

I'll have to look into it. I'm interested in SOULE because of my descendancy,but another reason is because I grew up about 15 miles from Middleboro Ma where George Soule lived and had his mill. There were a few families in Whitman (where I spent my youth) with Soule as a surname and they most probably were his descendants.

Yes, it is quite possible. My great grandmother was Mary Bonney, one of the Hanson Mass Bonney's of which there were quite a few. Her daughter Lizzie Cushing Hatch was the wife of my great grandfather William H. Easterbrook who I had the privilege of knowing personally for the first 20 years of my life. (oops I'm showing my age). The Bonney's have quite a line coming to America during the puritan migration period starting in 1620.
Why did you remove the parents from Nathaniel Sampson? Could you please add an explanation to Nathaniel's profile and the profiles of his parents? When you make relationship changes please add a research note or profile comment to explain the reason you are disconnecting family members. Better yet, it is preferred that you communicate before editing/disconnecting profiles. See: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Communication_Before_Editing.
Thanks, Traci

As I explained yesterday I thought Benjamin was the wrong parent for Nathaniel. I'm sorry I made a mess of it; if you want to straighten it out I would appreciate it.
thank you;

Thanks for your adoption and updates to Barden-2.
For the very specific death information, you added to him: 14 Feb 1774 in Hanover, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States, can you please let us know where you got that information from so that other researchers are able to reproduce your work? An inline citation in the biography section would be most helpful.
Thanks.

Thank you for adding your DNA Test to your profile on WikiTree. Getting Started with DNA will tell you more about how DNA kits are used on WikiTree.
DNA at WikiTree provides a visual way for you to find others who have tested and have the potential of having common ancestors. To get the best results, you need to start with yourself and add sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to existing profiles in WikiTree. 24 hours later, your test will have populated on the profiles of your ancestors and their descendants, where others with potential matches may also appear.
Let me know if you have any questions, and have fun!
