This sounds kind of like what I'm looking for, but who were the others in his family? Is any relationship known or suspected to Benjamin Cooley? Because I saw one of the places attributed to Benjamin is also Hertfordshire. Also, I am curious, are their any probate records or anyting on either the Cooleys or the Prudden's? That chain of church records raching to the 15th century really doesnt' tell me much about how they lived, and I am curious.
