A little more detail. I think it's reasonable:
Possible lineage for Claude Cooley:
John Cooley
..Perrin Cooley (1769-c1841)
....John Cooley (c1800-1846)
......Edward S Cooley (c1832-) m Elma Miller
........Alfred P Cooley (c1853-c1881) m Annie Barber
..........Claude Ervin Cooley (1881-1967) m Lona White
........John Cooley (c1855-)
Anyone have any leads on John, b c1855, still living in 1880?
Oh, I just found something....
