    Notes 
    • Came to North Yarmouth about 1742. It has been published: "All the rest of the name in Freeport, Yarmouth, Pownal, and other towns in Maine, not tracing their lineage to him, are descendants of his younger brother, Jedediah." This was a broad statement made by a careful genealogist, was accepted as correct until investigation proved that there were nine branches of Soule families settled in this state; all of course descendants of the Mayflower Pilgrim, George Soule, and kindred more or less removed. The Freeport branches, being descended from the two brothers, and very prolific, have been, possibly, more numerous than some others of the same generation but have not become so widely distributed throughout the country. This Barnabas Soule bought a homestead of his elder brother, Cornelius, in 1745 and made that his place of residence ever afterwards. The home of this family became quite a noted place, being situated upon a lofty elevation overlooking Cousins River and the glimmering waters of Casco Bay.
