Hi, Betty. Looks like we fell out of the same tree. I am descendant of John, William, Ira, Burrell, Burrell Anderson. Did you know that Wayne County is going to put out a book, History of Wayne County, MS? Our Cooleys are supposed to be in it. I can't wait to get a copy. I have wandered the same about the spelling. My guess is that you are right. Let me know if you need particular info or if you want a copy of my whole file sent to you. DiAnne Cooley Nobles
