Cousins came from both coasts and Canada to join in the festivities, from ages 13 on upl It was wonderful to meet many of you for the first time and renew those yearly acquaintances with others . I gratefully accepted another consecutive term as president of t he Soule Kindred in 1989. In subsequent years, perhaps we should l ook at this sort of continuity for the running of the Kindred. Many projects that we undertake are ~ot limited to one year. One such program is the final distribution of the microfilm r eels . It has begun! I have received information and will shortly send off one set of microfilm to the NSDAR library in washington D.C. Another set wi ~l be heading to the Ft. Wayne and Allen County Public Library. We ' re the first family in the Society of the Mayflower families to have this extensive, archival information available. ( This will be a great source of data for many familiy members seeking their lineage through the Soule line. Non-members who are reading this newsletter are invi ted to contact the membership secretary for information on joining the Kindred. Existing members are urged to consider gift memberships during this holiday season to an offspring or other relative who may be interested in the Kindred. No organization can continue to thrive and grow with,;ut new members . Our society is dedicated to all Soules and looks forward t o thriving and growing for years to come ! With everyone' s hel p, we can ! At the reunion, we received a heartwarming invitation from Bud and Helen Gall entine of Conrand, IA to have our next reunion in Des Moines, IA. We l ook forward to having a wonderful time there and hope to see many cousins, both ol d and new , in attendance . Have a happy holiday season ! Bless you.

( SOULE KI ND RED NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXII, NO. 4 OCTOBER 1988 121 RECOUDING OF FAMILY DATA By Geraldine Sowle Schlosser, Editor We have been asked why the Family Data Chart is printed in each issue of the Newsletter. One of the objectives of Soule Kindred is the gathering of information pertaining to the descendants of Pilgrim Ge orge Soule. Mayflower Families 3 covers the first 5 aenerations, to about 1800. Our families did a lot of moving around .in the 19th century, and you can help locate migration patterns for family groups. Our historian may be able to help you\ with that "missing link". So please keep the information coming. We would l ike to sugge s t that you be gin with your sixth generati on ancestor from George Soule (or your earliest Soule a ncest o r, if you haven't made the c onnection to Georael), F i ll out a form f ol' Lhn t I HII ~ CI:II. or- , nnJ tl1t:n uul..md t formu I' or euoh of your anc e~to r ~ down to yourself . This is especially important if you desc end t hrough a f e male line; Soule women who marry tend to become lost So ules. Fo r the benefit of new members, we'll give an explanation of how to fill out l he form. Sumplea were printed in V, 20, t2 and 13- April and July, if you'd like to refer to those. (1) The "Generation" space in the upper left corner shows the generation from the immigrant ancestor. Please leave it blank unless you are certain. (2) In the far upper space on the right for "FAMILY " , leave it blank if the surname of "Soule Descendant" is SOULE, SOWLE, or variants , because 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 De scendant" back to George Soulel, Unless you have an approved Mayflower Lineage or other positive proof, we suggest 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 ns 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 information. We may need to contact the compiler. (7) It is VERY important to list sources of data; if the information comes from a family Bible or other record, a photocopy of the information should be included. Other sources, such as Vital Records from towns or states, and census should be indicated. ( 8) Leave "Veri ficatio~·· 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".

The realization at that time was that in order to get the rest of the contents moved it would take J 1/2 more car loads or 4 additional 10 hour trips. School was about to begin so it did not seem reasonable to plan 4 more week-ends. It was decided after a phone call to our President Jim Soule, that it would be wise to rent a van and make one more trip to get everything here. On September 16th, BJ again left Albany,after school, in the van (a new driving experience) for puxbury.After a pleasant overnight with good friends Donald and Virginia Walker, the van was loaded with the remainder of the Office contents and BJ headed back to Albany. Both in August and again in September, Ginnie Walker spent many hours helping with the inventory and packing. Thanks also go to Emily cAleskie • She helped with the loading of the van and ( with carrying things downstairs at Drew House . Sabina was busy working at Drew House but was always around to assist and to supply lunch and cold drinks on those hot days in August. Upon arrival in Albany, the van was unloaded with help from Hank and Jean Leland. Hank is a member of the Scholarship Committee and over the years, Jean has don~ lot of typing for Soule Kindred. It was a big job getting everything moved and there is still a lot of organization to be done so it is hoped that people will be paient if they make requests for information and Newsletters and it takes a little longer than you think it should. !z:.~ ·...... -~-··" SOULE KINDRED NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXII, No. 4 OCTOBER 1988 133 B .J. p resenting a parting gift to Sabina Cro sby from the Soule Kindred. .. \ ' B.J.

Brightman, in Scituate, Rhode Isl and , the descendants of Pbraham R. C- ifford and his successive wives , Chloe B. and Meribah P. Mosher held a reunion. Ninety three descendant cousins, from eight states and the District of Columbia, were present and participated in various pi cnic t ype activities at Broad Oak Farm, which in 1987 wa s declared to be the first prize tree farm in Rhode Island. Pbout twenty five other cousins replied to the invitation but were unable to attend. In the invitation and during the program it was expl ained to all the cousins that because they are descended from Pbraham R. Gifford of Westport, Ma s sachusetts,they are descended from his grandfather Elihu Gifford who was a Captain in the Massachusetts Milit i a during the Revolutionary War. Thus all the cousins are eligible to join either the Sons or Daughters of the American Revolution. The cousins were further informed that through Mary Wright, who married Jeramiah Gifford in 1703 Or 04, they ar e all descended from two of her greatgrandfat hers, Francis Cooke and George Soule, 1620 passengers on Mayflower's voyage to Plymouth. ( A special Guest of the cousins was Mrs. Clinton W. Sellers, Historian of the Rhode Island So ciety of Mayflower Descendants. Mrs . Sellers spoke to the group explaining procedures for joining the Rhode Island Association. She also made available application forms. The mature cousins were given copies of their lineage from 1620 to 1896. They were reminded that they are all eligible to joi n the Soule Kindred. The important purposes of the reunion were not neglected. There was a lot of eating , talking, swimming , game playing and good old fashioned getting a cquainted and reacquainted. r SOULE KINDRED NEWSLETTER VOLUME XXII, NO. 4 OCTOBER 1988 135 ( SCHENECTADY GAZETTE, FRJOAY, SEPTEM~ER ~:fi9SS -sole Named Principal Of Galway Elementary Uy STEPIIEN WILLIAMS Gozett~ Reporter GALWAY - Mrs. Joanne Sole, former In other hu~ i nc~~ la ~ t night.

Ida (Soule) Kuhn lies upon the library desk, He mentions too a Mistress Anne A diary brown and old; He left across the sea; The leather back is torn away, In some old garden hedged with box The pages blurred with mould; And haunted by the her; But still a sentence here and there And if you hold the tattered leaf Is left by time to show Between you and the light The hopes and fears of Pilgrim Soule You still can see the Who kept it long ago. That blistered "I and in sight." In what a stiff old-fashioned hand In stately tomb and simple mound solemn thoughts were penned, The Pilgrim Fathers sleep- how the Mayflower must have rolled; Forgetting in their flnal rest hal f the letters blend. The perils of the deep. here he entered, "Grievous sick" The Mayflower with her oaken rlbs here, "A chi ld was born" , Is nothing but a name- And later on--"A sailor died, But Pilgrim Soule, This holy Sabbath morn."
