He was born about 1600 and is credited to the London contingent. He was the son of John Soule of Eckington, Worcestershire, England,. Robert Soule of the family was a London salter. Droitwich, where Edward Winslow was born, was a salt mining place and connected with the salters company of London. This last may have brought George Soule and Edward Winslow together.
