I noticed that, too. Also that the writer's small o's looked like a's. I'd
imagine that "Thomas Marian" should really read Thomas Marion.

>> Hello Michael,
>>
>> Your request for information on Perrin Cooley was forwarded to me. My
>> office vault houses the probate records from the 1800's here in
>> Randolph County Missouri.
>>
>> Unfortunately, I can find no record for Perrin Cooley. I did find
>> Isaac Cooley, who died around July 12, 1838. His wife, Nancy,
>> received the bulk of his estate. Also mentioned were sons; William,
>> James, Thomas Marian, and a daughter Harriet.
>>
>> The only other "Cooley" I can find in the 1800's was ; Washington T.
>> Cooley who died around September 13, 1867 and left a wife named,
>> Amanda and a daughter, Elizabeth.
>>
>> There have been two major fires at the courthouse in our history, but
>> perhaps the person you are looking for died in Macon County.
