• Notes

  From the Cooley Family Genealogy: "..res in the village of Sutherland Falls, named for John Sutherland...(Col. Andrew Sutherland died Feb 27, 1836) in Cambria, Niagara County, New York to which he removed in 1810 residing near Warrens Corners on Ridge Road. He served in the Militia in the War of 1812, afterwards becoming a Colonel of Militia." From the History of Macomb County (Michigan): "...(Andrew Sutherland) was a soldier of the war of 1812 and was promoted to the Colonelcy of a regiment and was discharged with honor; his mother [Ed: wife Naomi, not mother] died at Romeo (Michigan) in 1871" (Naomi Cooley, died in Romeo 15 Dec 1870). There is an error on the Andrew Sutherland gravestone (formerly a stepstone) in his age at death. It reads 52 years, 5 months, 25 days but should be 59 years, 5 months, 24 days. See research analysis. (Research):Analysis of gravestone mistakeo Given death date of 28 Feb 1836 subtracting age on gravestone of 52y5m22d gives a birth date of 6 Sep 1783. o Given a birth date of 3 Sep 1776 adding 52y5m22d gives death date of 25 Feb 1829. o Given birth date of 3 Sep 1776 and dd 27 Feb 1836, his age at death would be 59 years, 5 months, 24 days o Since the stone carver put an age at death of 52 years, 5 months, 25 days, it appears he made a mistake; the number of years on the gravestone should be 59 years. Note: The gravestone in Glenwood Cemetery was originally a stepstone on the original Andrew Sutherland property on Ridge Road where other family members were buried.
