Hello all - I am at this point for any information on the SOULE/Souls surname in Cortland Co., NY. I am, of course, mainly interested in my gggrandmother, Betsy Souls/Soule (dau. of Willism Souls/Soule and Deborah ______). One source says she was born 1819, Truxton, Cortland Co., NY, another source says she was b. 1818 Schoharie Co., NY. Both sources mention her death as 1848, Truxton, Courtland Co., NY. The one certain that is known, is that Betsy married my gggrandfather Joseph Stewart, had 4, children, Solomon, b. abt, 1841; Alvah, b. abt., 1843; William b. abt. 1845, and my ggrandfather John, b. 1848/49. The 1850 Courtland Co., NY census for Truxton, lists these children, and a wife Jane, and a daughter, Elisa Rose, b. abt 1844. This Jane, as listed in both sources is listed as the second wife of Joseph Stewart, and that she died in Lee Co., ILL, it seems before 1860. Any information on these surname will be much appreciated. Dot Dotsipe@aol.com
