I've just hear from the mystery kit tester--the one who is a close match
to the James Cooley of Jack county TX. He knows his line only to his
great-grandfather, an Ernest Cooley of South Bend, Indiana. He has
promised more info. This is going to be interesting.
A descendant of the James Cooley/Penelope Gargus line of Virginia is going
to test. This clan is of interest to us because of its presence in Halifax
county NC, as well as in and near Stewart county TN. This has been on my
wish list for a long time.

Finally, I just hooked up a descendant of Daniell Cooley of Maryland with
the descendant of Francis Cooley of Allegheny county PA who recently
tested and provided fodder for my anti-Hamil salvo. They are not of our
line but it's nice to see that some of these lines may be merging, thanks
to DNA.
