Polly, you are looking in the wrong place for Samuel's death. He died 26 Jul 1857 in London, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada. His son Alexander brought his headstone to Tyre. Why, I don't know, but Samuel died and is buried in Canada. Also I would like a copy of those naturalization papers you have. We have corresponded before. I am also descended from the Tyre Soule family. The family is listed in the 1851-52 census of upper Canada, Middlesex County Westminster Township Ward 3. (This is present day London,Ontario, on the south bank of the Thames River and traversed by Plingnan's creek. He is a shoemaker. Alexander born in U.S. And David,Riley and Martha born in Canada. Martha is possibly Mary whose gravestone was brought to Soule Cemetary in Michigan. Caroline,Peleg and Eleanor were not in the census but these children were old enough to be on their own.

Ruth, I am aware of the Middlesex connection as well as the moving of the headstones, but have not had time to attain copies of documents from Canada. The naturalization paperwork came from the archives in Lansing. I'm in transition and so don't have any of my documentation with me. You can write and ask them to send copies to you. However, as I said, there isn't much information contained in the documents.
