I have just released the whole database of direct descendants including 18,555 persons. It includes the following surnames: Wright (1764) Gilstrap and Zink (over 400) Brown, Colglazier, Cooley, Crum, Fox, Goss, Hazel, Hill, Hinds, Johnson, Martin, Morgan, Moss, Mullanix, Purlee, Ratts, Smith and Stewart (over 100 each) Major locations include Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. I would appreciate any additions and corrections.

On 10 March 1889 the above Samuel COOLEY of Livingston, Montana, submitted information that was incorporated into a book "The COOLEY Genealogy". I have no idea who the author was as all I have in my possession is one page. (page number 954, so I am impressed with the size of this tome!). As follows: "COOLEY, of Irish extraction, lost at sea for 7 years; wrote a book of his life which was not published. He settled in Chenango Co., N.Y., and had 8 sons, one of whom was Charles, who had Loren, who had Gertrude, Hall and Samuel. Other sons were Reuben of Whatcheer, Iowa; Samuel of Bowling Green, Ohio; James, Charles, and Dell of Vincennes, Ind.; daughters Susan and Ellen. Sent from Samuel Cooley, Livingston, Mont., Mar.10 1889." The family above appears to be the one I am searching as I have found connecting evidence to these names. I find Reuben and Lorin (sp) on the 1870 What Cheer, Keokuk Co., Iowa Census: Lorin age 29 born in New York, wife (looks like)- Cornelia Gertrude age 3 born Ohio Samuel age 2 born Ohio living next door: Rubart (on other rec's Reuben) age 32 born New York, wife Margaret Charles age 9 born Iowa Prentis age 7 born Iowa (looks like)- Charity age 5 born Iowa Mary age 3 born Iowa Lizzie age 1 born Iowa Both of these brothers were listed as Blacksmiths. In the Probate Record of the widow of James COOLEY, Mary Jane (LITTLE) COOLEY lists his parents as Charles and Mahailey COOLEY and his siblings as: brothers...." Rubin Cooley, Samuel Cooley, Louel Cooley sisters....." Susin Underwood, Della Hicks, Ella Cooley. New York and Ohio were where the children were born. Charles and Mahailey (according to James) died 1855 and 1851 respectively and I find the young James, Susan and Samuel all living with other families in the 1850 and 60 Ohio Census. So, it appears that Charles and Mahailey had some of the children in New York, and others in Ohio. Sandusky Co. is the place of record of the birth of James and that is the same County I find the young children living with the other families. It is possible/probable that both parents died in that County. I am looking for EITHER descendants or ancestry here. I am mightily interested in the family of the Samuel COOLEY who submitted the information from Livingston, Mont. Perhaps his descendants have knowledge of the "unpublished" book. Personally, I am very interested in how one is lost at sea for seven years!!!!! Thanks for your time, Sandy (in Alaska) sandy@mosquitonet.com

Paul, My Cooley line ended up in OR, where I am from. They are from WI and MI as far as we've been told and have been able to find. If you could send me some other names, (my family named everyone after other family members) we may be able to find a connection somewhere. The most common Cooley given names in my line are Byronand Warren. My great grandfather from Suring, WI was Ralph Herbert Cooley born 18 Dec 1890. His father's name was Warren Cooley and His mother was Lusira Jane Powers. They moved to OR sometime after 1893 when their youngest son Ellis was born. Email me and let me know if anything sounds familiar. -Paige "Paul Dickey, Jr." wrote: > I'm trying to find information on the death/burial dates and locations of > Eldad and Martha (HARRIS) COOLEY.

I'm trying to find information on the death/burial dates and locations of Eldad and Martha (HARRIS) COOLEY. I'm also trying to find the parents of Martha (HARRIS) COOLEY. Eldad COOLEY was the son of Clark COOLEY II and Candace HOLCOMB. Eldad and Martha HARRIS where married in Licking County, Ohio in 1823. They moved to Jackson County, Iowa in the 1840s. It's said that Eldad died September 15, 1888, and Martha died September 10, 1890. I'm trying to find a source for the dates, and whether they died or were buried in Jackson County, Iowa or at some other place, possibly with one of their children. Their children included Eunice m. James Johnson, buried in Jackson County, Iowa; Laura m. Jacob Johnson, she was buried in Webster County, Nebraska; Emmett Thomas Adis COOLEY, he probably died in Oregon or Washington. If anyone has information on these people I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Paul Dickey, Jr. dickey@netins.net

For those of you with large databases (over 10,000). Be warned there is a problem with FTM version 7. When you try to privatize, it locks up.

Lesson learned. Thanx to Ellie Stites, I found that I had gender errors in some of my marriages, man as woman and visa-versa. This made the marriages on the web page wrong. I used PAF4 check/repair to identify. Familytree maker does not! The web page has now been corrected.
