• Notes

  From the Cooley Genealogy "[Azariah Cooley II] died 28 Feb 1778 [at] Bloody Brook, Deerfield Mass where he settled on 1 July 1774". "Bloody Brook" is the namae of the site in Deerfiled where Native Americans ambushed and massacred English settlers in 1675.* Azariah signed the covenant made by the men of Brimfield "for absolute non0intercourse with Great Britain". He was a soldier in the French and Indian wars as well as the Revolution. *The Battle of Bloody Brook was fought on September 18, 1675 Old Style (September 28, 1675 New Style) between English colonial militia from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a band of Indians led the Nipmuc Sachem Muttawmp, during King Philip's War. The Indians ambushed colonists escorting a train of wagons carrying the harvest from Deerfield to Hadley, and killed at least 40 militiamen and 17 teamsters out of a company that included 79 militia. - Wikipedia
