MS Cooleys, I "bumped" into sme of our LA Cooley cousins, I believe, in the course of my "DAY JOB" so to speak, and spoke at length with Mr. Cooley from DeQuincy, LA. He told me the story he had heard was that five Cooley brothers had headed for Arizona.....they got there, one died there, with issue, but the others headed back, presumably to MS. Two stopped along the way and made their permanent homes........in LA, one near DeQuincy and one in another town I cant quite remember at the moment as this info I jotted down is at the office. He mentioned some names we are all familiar with, Ira, William etc......and did say that obviously at least one Cooley made it back to Wayne County....could this be part of the Cooley group that recently had a reunion in LA?..Needlless to say, I'd like to wait for his permission before I introduce Mr Cooley's name over the net.......I don't know that he even has an interest in genealogy but he could go way back with his direct line..and that is the first time I've ever heard about the 5 Cooleys going to Arizona and coming back. Anyone have anything on this?
