What years are you looking at? I find a Samuel COOLEY M age 56 born in Mass. and Elijah M. F age 50 born in Maine together and next door was a Sophia COOLEY F age 79 born in Ct. This is the 1850 Census Longmeadow, Hampdon, Ma.

Let's see, from what I understand, not only did one of them (Benjamin and Samuel) have Abilenah and the othe rhad Bethia, but they actually BOTH had daughters named Bethia, born about four years apart. Abilenah and Bethia married sons of emigrant Chapin. I have another Springfield line, so I almost certainly have Cooley ancestry more than once, not to mention all the collateral relatoinships, so I'd really like to get my Cooley's straight.
