| 1851 | George Soule came to America on the original Mayflower voyage to Plymouth. He was a servant to Edward Winslow. George signed the Mayflower Compact on 11 Nov 1620. Interesting to note, particularly in the light of our twins, and other twins elsewhere on our family tree: "Soule descendants have shown a strong genetic trait of twinning." (see "Mayflower Descendants Through Five Generations" Vol. 3 , George Soule, p. 14) We have three lines of descent from George Soule. I believe this has been disproven since being published, but still an interesting theory: "As was his wife Marie Bucquet, 'George Sowle . . was apparently also of a Waloon family. His proposed father Jan Sol was born in Brussels . . . the seat of the French community of Belgium and of the Flemish community. George Soule signed his will as 'Gorge Sowle,' thus blending the Dutch first name with an English-sounding surname. He was probably known as 'Joris Sol' or 'Joris Jansz' in Leiden and Haarlem before 1620.' " (source: The Mayflower Quarterly, December 2012, pp 378 & 379, article by Louise Walsh Throop) In answer to my question about why George would have been known as Joris Jansz, Louise replied: "There were standard abbreviations for the -son ending or -daughter ending: the Dutch used -zn for the -son ending. So if George Sowle [his English name] was originally a Dutch boy of Huguenot background, he could have been called Joris [the equivalent of Gorg or George] the son of John, or Jansen, or the Dutch version: jan-zoon or Janzn. By the way, Labis is probably the surname of George's mother.....with the possibility she came from an upper-class family." (email from Louise Walsh Throop dated 14 June 2013) From the "Soule Kindred Newsletter" of Winter/Spring 2016: "George's place and date of birth are the subject of much conjecture. Some sources identify the name Soule as originating in the village of Soles in the county of Kent. Another possibility is that it was brought to England from Normandy in 1066 when the French conquered England." For additional information on George, see: http://www.themayflowersociety.com/pilgrim.htm See this excellent web site by Caleb Johnson: http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/Passengers/GeorgeSoule.php The text of his will can also be found at this site.

| 1853 | George was a Captain in the 3rd Michigan Infantry during the Civil War (see Remington ancestry chart). In the 1860 Federal Census, George W. & Cecelia Remington are living at Grand Rapids, Kent Co., MI. They have two young children. Also, George's mother, Esther Remington, age 60, is living with them. In the 1870 Federal Census, George W. Remington is still living at Grand Rapids. However, he now has a second wife, Statira, and two more young children. His mother Esther is still with them, with her age given as 65. by 1880 George has passed away but his family is still at Grand Rapids. (see notes for his second wife) | Remington, George William (I08222)
|

(source: M.K. & Barry Miles in Miles Files Version 7, Eastern Shore Public Library website) In the Federal Census of 1870, George & Catherine Dix, ages 43 & 46, are living at Metompkin, Accomack Co., VA. With them are George 17, Alfred 15, and Levy 5. In the Federal Census of 1880, George M. & Catherine Dix, both aged 53, are living at Accomack, VA.

| 1857 | George was president of the New York Stock Exchange. In the Federal Census of 1850, George H. & Julia Broadhead, ages 36 & 32, are living at Castleton, Richmond, NY. They have four children; one may be a foster child as he appears to have a different surname. | Broadhead, George H. (I05647)

|
| 1860 | George Wightman was "undoubtedly a Baptist" (see p. 8 of Descendants of George Wightman). As a member of the Six-Principle Baptist Church of North Kingstown, and possibly a deacon, he bequeathed money for the pastor to buy bread and wine for the congregation. His great Bble, printed in 1587 in London, is still owned by a direct descendant, George W. Wightman, of Brookline, MA. In later generations his property in Quidnessett was sold to another family, and more recently was called "Cedar Crest Farm," owned by Mr. Clinton Prescott Knight. The present home predates the Revolution. | Wightman, Colonel George (I05835)
|
| 1861 | George's middle name as Ebenezer came from a descendant, Ron Kosciuch. Supposedly he was called Eben. The marriage record at Jamestown says he is George Smith, so of Ebenezer & Dinah. | Smith, George Ebenezer (I05140)
|
| 1862 | George's mother was his father's first wife, but I don't know her name. Betsy was his step-mother. In 1880, George is 13 and living with his family at Voluntown, CT. In the 1920 Federal Census, George is age 52, married, and boarding at Hopkinton, Washington Co., RI. His brother Albert, 36 and single, is with him.

|
| 1869 | Gertrude died of diptheria. The death record identifies her parents as George & Betsey A. Remington, and appears to give her age as 17. However, it should be closer to 11. If she really was 17, Gertrude must have been born to George's first wife. | Remington, Gertrude "Gertie" (I15361)
|
| 1870 | Gertrude married Frank J. Ryan. | Fontaine, Gertrude (I20892)

|
| 1876 | Gideon is mentioned in the 1756 Portsmouth will of his paternal grandmother, Mary (Freeborn) Brayton. I am not sure which Hannah Remington married Gideon. Possibly she was from one of the Remington families on Prudence Island. Gideon and his family migrated westward. He was Pathmaster for the Town of Stephentown, NY in 1784. He initially settled in Norway, NY, where the first birth was a child of Gideon. Norway has a location called Brayton's Corners (Brayton Family History V.

|
| 1884 | Giles & Joan were among the earliest settlers of Portsmouth, RI. He was there by 1648, was a freeman there by 1655, and purchased land in Dartmouth, MA in 1669. He was probably among the first to join the Society of Friends in RI, and made a bequest to the society in his will, dated 10 October 1681, calling the Quakers his "loving friends the people of God." He owned and gave to his sons large tracts of land in Rhode Island, New Plymouth (MA), and New Jersey. | SLOCUM, Giles (I01390)
|
| 1885 | Giles' birth record identifies him as a son of Jonathan & Abigail. | Lake, Giles (I20111)
|
| 1886 | Gladys was always so friendly. Once when my daughter Laura was little, we stopped at Gladys's home on Knotty Oak Road to say hello, and she invited us in. Laura, still a baby, was content for Gladys to hold her, and so she commented, "She's such a good baby -- she'll go to anybody!" Gladys came to our Christmas 1976 Open House at 81 Darrow Dr., and to the 50th Anniversary Open House for my parents at 183 Shun Pike (1991). She sent us a Christmas card every year. Though we were all very sad when she died, I believe she lived a good life and a long life. I have a copy of her online obituary from ProJo.com. | Remington, Gladys Angeretta (I00257)

H., died Dec. 6, 1869, aged 25y 11m [inscript. by _ Newark, O.] At first, I thought George was a son of James & Sarah (Boyce) Remington, because he is buried near them.
