2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower<\/em> voyage and the founding of Plymouth Colony. Commemorative publications, programs, and tours are planned in the US, the UK, and the Netherlands by various organizations, including the General Society of Mayflower Descendants<\/a>, the New England Historic Genealogical Society<\/a>, and Plymouth 400, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for the festivities, we will be blogging about our resources for a different Mayflower<\/em> family each month. First up is the descendants of George Soule!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Soule was born in England in the 1590s. An exact date and place of birth has not been established. He was a signer of the Mayflower Compact<\/em> on November 11, 1620, suggesting he was older than 20, and was a servant to Edward Winslow, suggesting he was younger than 25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

George was married to Mary Bucket\/Beckett between 1624-1626. She arrived in Plymouth before July 31, 1623 aboard the Anne<\/em>, and their first child was born by 1627.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
