Biography

Mary Soule, daughter of George and Deborah, granddaughter of George & Mary, was born about 1681 in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. She died probably Dartmouth after 17 June 1729, when she gave an accounting in court of her husband's, Joseph Davol, estate.[1]

There are alternate birth, 1679, 30 July 1675, and death, 10 May 1732, listed on some Ancestry Trees for Mary, the daughter of George and Deborah Soule. These are not dates accepted by the Mayflower Society.

Mary and Joseph were married about 1700, and had children, born in Dartmouth[1]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:

Soule-2478 and Soule-74 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, no sources to support the differences in dates and spelling of husband's name on Soule-2478

Frank. Please remove your entries made recently. It does not make sense for a woman to have a daughter at age 4! Always check your Soule entries against the 'pink' booklet published in 2015 by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants: MFIP "George Soule of the Mayflower and his Descendants for Four Generations" See their website 'Shop to buy a copy [about $20]. Thanks......Louise Walsh Throop

Soule-1484 and Soule-74 appear to represent the same person because: their relationships appear the same. Also, my Mayflower descendants application was accepted years ago through Mary Soule who married Joseph Davol.

Thank you. When I created Soule-1484 I was not alerted that there already was a profile on Mary, but I thought that was very strange.

Best wishes, Doug Showalter

Soule-667 and Soule-74 appear to represent the same person because: I consulted an 8 ball (actually a bunch of Ancestry trees). They told me that Soule-667 was the daughter of George & Deborah. If your ok with this let's merge them, so poor Mary Soule-667 isn't hanging out there with no folks to her name.

Mary Soule's Husbands Joseph Davoll-1 and Devel-1 should be merged. LNAB need to be determined. No birth record. He signed a receipt "Davil", Will says Devil, many different spellings = Mayflower society has decided to use Devol.

Dtr of George Jr removing 1636-1672 changing to c 1681-after 1729.

Someone entered a whole duplicate Soule family and put 1936 for all the children. It is not the right date. Please look at the two daughters Mary as an example. The other is better. They should be merged along with duplicate family members. Thank you.
posted by Keith Hathaway
Father, George Soule Jr was born about 1639, so Mary could not be born 1636. The 1676 date would be the better one.
Soule-74 and Soule-210 appear to represent the same person because: Please merge these two profiles. They are the same person.
