Joan Sole was burned at the stake in England on January 31, 1556, along with four others during the Catholic persecution of emerging Protestantism. (FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS, CHAPTER XVI)
My branch of the Soule/Sowle family from Plymouth was Quaker, so I checked to see whether the Soule name had any history of dissent in England. This detail about Joan Sole turned up. The first Soule in New England was George Soule of the Mayflower, but I do not know whether he had any connection to Joan. Perhaps an English researcher could shed some light on Joan. (I assume that most spelling back then was phonetic and that Sole and Soule were pronounced in the same way.)
