• Notes

  Azariah Sr Cooley's association (marriage) with Rebekah Dicks is not documented but the birth of a child, Azeriah Jr, is found in MVR Brimfield Births. This leads to the conclusion Azariah and Rebekah were not married. Here is the exact line from Brimfield Births: Cooley Azeriah, s. Rebekah Dicks, Mar. 7 1731. Note that a father is not mentioned so it is possible that a Cooley other than Azariah could have been a father. However, for lack of information, I have assigned Azariah Sr as the father of Azariah Jr. as did the Cooley Genealogy. [5] (Research):The name Azariah or the slightly expanded but essentially the same name Azariahu is among the most popular in the Bible. It means "Yahweh has helped" in Hebrew where it was the name of the Hebrew God represented in Hebrew by the tetragrammaton ("four letters") Yod Heh Vav Heh.
