He sold the homestead where he lived Dec 1763, witnessed by Joseph Soule.[2]

Edward was made freeman at Tiverton May 1758[2]

Bristol County deeds record his 1757 sale of land in Swansea. He, his wife, and his sister Jemima (wife of Daniel Baker) sold part of the estate that was their grandfather, Joseph Baker's, of Swansea.[2]

Anne B....this fellow Edward Soule/Sowl would not have had a middle name "B". And some of the deeds, specifically, a 1768 deed names him Edward Sowl of Rochester, shop joiner. Can we remove the 'B' in his name?? The alternate spelling of 'Sowl' is probably a clerical doing. Louise in CA

Soule-1249 and Soule-961 appear to represent the same person because: Olive is another daughter.

I have a copy of the original probate file for Joseph Baker, their grandfather, where the land is set off for distribution to the heirs.

The land that Edward Soule and Jemima Soule (wife of Daniel Baker) sold, that belonged to Joseph Baker their grandfather did not have to come directly from their grandfather. Their mother Jemima inherited it from Joseph. They would have received it from her. Neither of the grandchildren were listed in the distribution of Joseph's estate. Only joseph's wife and children were listed.

Hi Janis, I did not see Edward Baker listed as a descendant in the division of Joseph Baker's estate settlement papers filed in Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts. Some have said both Edward Sowle and his sister, Jemima (Baker) Sowle were named but I only see Jemima's name listed. I'd like to see the original document for myself.
