4. Elizabeth Soule (1), a daughter of George (1) and Mary (Beckett) Soule, time of birth unknown, had a sad record. It appears that in 1662, she fell from grace by committing adultery with Nathaniel Church, to whom she was engaged to be married; he refusing to fulfill the compact, they were both convicted of the criminal act and each was fined œ5. However, the alliance was continued and for the second offense both were publicly brought to the whipping post and the lash applied. Refusing to recognize his obligation to take her as his wife, she sued him for breach of promise for the sum of œ100. He was convicted by the court, and the jury awarded her œ10 and costs of suit. She was subsequently married to FRANCIS WALKER, previous to 1663. The clergyman before alluded to says: "These are sad records to make for a child of the Mayflower Pilgrim, himself a man of sterling moral character, but neither Christian grace nor moral character are transmissible, or hereditary."

In the will of George Soule he left his Middleboro lands to his two daughters, Elizabeth,
who was the wife of John Haskell, and Patience, who became the wife of Francis
Walker. There seems to have been some fear that their brother, John Soule, might
try to dispossess these sisters and a codicil was subjoined to prevent any such attempt.
