Notes
a. Note:   N40 He lived for several years in Dover, New York. About 1819-20, he purchased land in the then wilderness of Onondaga County, N. Y., and located his home near what was subsequently Clay Corners, some ten miles from Syracuse. He was a man of good judgment and business ability, and a successful farmer, but his health failed and for many years he was incapacitated for manual labor. He was tall, slender and stooping; his features thin and elongated, and his general habits serious and quiet; possibly in part the result of his physical infirmities. His grandson, Rev. Henry Birdsall Soule, writing of him, said: "There was something venerable in his appearance and manner that commanded respect; his influence, however, derived the most of its weight from his goodness of heart, and the exemplary character of his life. He was an active member of the Methodist church, and the clergyman who conducted the services at his funeral and eulogized him in the highest degree had refused to perform the burial rites of his son because he had made no public profession of religion; this exhibition of bigotry having much to do with making the grandson a Universalist minister. Latten Soule died in 1828, aged 65 years, and left a will containing much genealogical information. Tradition makes him derive his name from the Latten family with which it was supposed his mother was connected. The names of his children as follows: Clement, Nathan, Mary, Ambrose, Ephraim, Myron, Benjamin, Sally Ann, Harriet, Demmis, Emdia--and others died young.
  The Latten Family. NOTE.--Much interest and inquiry has been excited by the appearance of this very uncommon surname as a first name in the Soule family, it being an isolated instance, but critical research has revealed sufficient evidence to base the assumption upon that the Birdsall family was in some way connected, and Sarah Soule had good reasons for naming her first-born son "Latten" Soule. This family name, though of rare occurrence, has been found in the early Court Records, and was spelled according to the fancy of the scribes, "Latin," "Lattin," "Lathan," and "Latting." Richard Latten came to Boston from England in 1638-9, bringing his wife and children and first sat down in Concord, Mass. In 1641 he removed to Fairfield, Conn. In 1647 his name appears in the records of the General Court. In 1658 he was a resident of Hempstead, Long Island, where he probably came into contact with the Birdsalls, who had early settled there. He was at Oyster Bay in 1661 and removed to Huntington the same year. In 1672 he was accused of "speaking too freely and probably disloyally, against the Duke of York and his representative, Governor Lovelace, and a proclamation and warrant of arrest were issued against him. He was pursued for a while but his offense was extenuated because of his advanced age. He died about 1672-3. The name Latten seems not to have been very popular as it was not continued in the Soule family for more than two generations.
