We were in Pompey NY, May 2005, looking for baptismal records for the children of William
and Jemima(Butler) Souls. They were living there in 1800-1810 per census. The 1800 census
only shows 2 children so most were probably born there. I think they left there around
1816 to go to Indiana by way of Ohio. William Souls of Terre Haute, died and in his
probate records is the fact that he was owed money for bushels of salt in Pompey NY. The
names mentioned are James Clark, Richard Hickock and Lyman Convers. Jemima's father
was Zachariach Butler and he also came to Onondaga county and purchased land after leaving
the Schoharie NY area. If anyone has any information on this family I would greatly
appreciate any help.
