[edit] Date
Birthdate differs from Find-A-Grave. Lincher 12:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
-your link only gives an estimate (1597) for Soule's birthdate, and it also cites a 1595 baptismal record as the best direct evidence of a birthdate. Because Soule was a teacher rather than a more traditional servant it might be expected that he was slightly on the older side (25 years old) Swampyank 17:22, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I must disagree. I am a Soule and our family history, "supported" by our family bible says otherwise. Goerge was born in Soule, Pays Basque. He emmigrated to England and eventually became the endentured servant of the captain of the Mayflower - Christopher Jones. Once they reached America he was freed from his endenture. He was of the 50% that survived the first winter and went on to father 9 children with his wife Mary.
[edit] Another George Soule
There's another less known George Soule, George Henry Soule. He wrote Ideas of the Great Economists. (New York, NY: Viking, 218 p.). as well as Prosperity Decade, From War to Depression in 1975. I just found a copy of the former, and read it. It was a good book. He's a liberal economist. He's got a reference in wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_history_of_the_United_States . According to another page (http://www.psych.yorku.ca/femhop/Helen%20Dunbar.htm): "On 13 July 1940 she married George Henry Soule (1888-1970), an economist and editor of The New Republic." That's all I know about him. I've requested an article about him.
