Robert4 Soule was born February 3, 1797.
3. Jonathan3 Soule (Rowland2, George1) was born 1761.
He married Sarah Hatfield. Jonathan Soule (4), probably the son of Rowland Soule and Mary (Irish) Soule of Nine Partners, Dutchess County, N. Y., and brother of George Soule of Coymans, Albany County, N. Y., and of Enos Soule of Savannah, Wayne County, N. Y., as well as several other brothers and sisters of whom more particulars in other departments of this work. This Jonathan Soule is recorded as having been born in 1761, a date just accommodated to the time when some other heads of departments saw the light. The universal tradition makes this man a native of Dutchess County, N. Y. Descended from George Soule and Lydia (Howland) of an old Quaker stock, this family were loyal adherents of that faith and much of the meagre information preserved within these volumes was derived from the records of this Society and descendants whose early years were passed in homes where their faith was inculcated. This Jonathan Soule was early a resident of Dover, Dutchess County, N. Y., where his name appears with many others of the Soule family in several old account books. Before a more careful search had been instituted the author had supposed this Jonathan was identical with that young doctor, a son of Jonathan Soule of Clinton, but according to the "Sisson Bible" this young professional died when only 25 years of age. Discarding this conjecture the thoughts turned toward another of the name, Jonathan Soule, son of James and a cousin of the young doctor; but he was far too young to fill the niche. Having accounted for all others of this name and a protracted study of the various pedigrees, I have assigned him a place among the Rowlands. One clipping culled from some early publication states that three brothers named Jonathan, George and Isaac removed to Duanesburg together.
Jonathan Soule and Sarah Hatfield had the following child:
