Gave his son, John Soule of Middleboro, 100 acres in the "Twenty-Six-Men's Purchase" in Middleboro, being the 22nd lot of the last division of Upland in said purchase
For Oe6-6, sold his son, James Soule, 25 acres in the Twenty-Six-Men's purchase, being the 15th lot and butteth upon ye great river
In a deposition dated 8 March 1705/6, John Soule swore he was "about Seventy foure years" of age.
He married (2) probably in Duxbury circa 1678 Esther (Nash) Sampson, Born 6 March 1640 (if age a deathe is correct); died Duxbury 12 September 1735 age 95 years 6 months and 6 days; her parentage is unknown. She married (1) circa 1679 Samuel Sampson by whom she had Samuel and Ichabod.
The undated (prob. 1678) settlement of the estate of Samuel Sampson mentions the widow Easter Sampson "is towards marriage with John Soule."
On 5 March 1683/4 Samuel Sampson, son of Sammuell Sampson, deceased, chose John Soule to be his guardian.
On 31 July 1695 John Soule of Duxbury deeded land to son Aaron Soule of Duxborough. On 17 May 1698 he mentions sons Benjamin and James in a deed. On 27 December 1703 he deeded land to son James Soule of Middleborough. On 30 June 1701 he deeded land to sons Joseph Soule, Josiah Soule and Joshua Soule. On 26 August 1712 Moses Soule of Duxbury sold land which belonged to his father John Soule.
John Soule died intestate and Esther Soul, widow, was appointed to administer his estate 14 November 1707. His three daughters or their heirs proposed division of the residuary real estate among them since their father "in his lifetime settled all his sons portions in land by deed" and they, the daughters, received but one cow. The settlement of 6 March 1707/8 was signed by John and Rachel Cobb, Esmond and Rebecca Weston and Adam Wright on behalf of his children born to his wife, Sarah deceased.
