Another cousin connection! I like Ned Soule, he was a rascal enough to have left a few good records, but not as naughty as some of the other Mayflower passengers.

I'm also a Soule descendent. Through son George to the Irish line.

I'm a Soule descendant. I believe we are 8th cousins, once removed. Our common grandfather is 1432 Nathaniel Soule.
