Hello, Thank you for the info on Frederick Cooley, but this person is not my relative or the father of my relative. My Frederick shows up on the 1850 census, living in La Salle Co., IL with his wife Jane Dodge and 1st child, a son, Noah J. Cooley brn 1850. My Frederick moves his family to Kansas and lives there until 1899. He then moves to CA and lives with his daughter, my Great-Grandmother, Ella Jane Cooley Rannells. Frederick dies in CA in 1902 on the Rannells Ranch in San Diego, I have proof of this info. Frederick claims he was brn 1822 in MAss. I am trying to connect him to his father (not proven) George Cooley and Lydia Hubbard. Thanks again.
