I have trouble sending scans to the Cooley list. If possible, could you
send this to the list.
When we were doing the grave marking ceremony for Randolph White in 2010,
this brief report was sent to me concerning some questions on the James
Cooley family. Laurele White was the Macon County, Mo Cooley-White
researcher that made huge contributions to this history. Mrs. White died
in 2010. She also mentions the researcher from Seattle. As you can see,
she was not certain who the James Cooley that married Jane White was so
perhaps none of us should jumped too fast on this call. She had worked on
this history for many, many years and her children are very involved in
the Macon Historical Society so if there was any proof, one way or the
other, they should have known. Plus her husband descended from James
Cooley, through Jemima that married Thomas Kirkland White.
As far as John Cooley that married Elizabeth White, I think that question
has been answered from the autobiography of Joseph Cooley, son of William
C. Cooley(John, Joseph, John A.) He was not very old when his grandfather
died, but his grandmother lived longer and his father, William also was
alive so surely Joseph would have known who his great grandfather was with
all those people still living.
