• Notes

  Eliakim Cooley took the oath of allegiance (to the King) in 1678 in the year of his marriage. He took the Freeman's Oath 19 Dec 1690. In 1711 a Frenchman by the name of John Mallefuild was traveling through Springfield when a severe snowstorm made it impossible for him to keep on, forcing him to stop at Eliakim Cooley's home. He was quite ill and expired 10 days later on 26 Nov 1711. Afterward a portion of his estate was left to Cooley for "tending him" ( [4]
