Yarmouth, Maine, regarding the ancestry of my great grandfather, Joseph
G. Mansfield, I received a response from Katherine P. Tinker. She cited no
sources. In that letter she wrote:
..."James was the son of Jedediah and Tabitha (Bishop) Soule and the
brother of Deborah (Soule) Hamilton."
"Mayflower Families In Progress" series' volume on "George Soule of the
Mayflower and His Descendants for Four Generations", 2nd ed., published by
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants in 1995, identifies James as
the son of JEDEDIAH AND TABITHA SOULE.
According to Vol 3 of "Mayflower Families" (G 974.401 P 738 MY), in
which James is listed as entry # 391, he served in the war for
independence.
"Stone Sloops of Chebeague" (1949), chart p. 136. His wife is not
identified.
