• Notes

  This last child of Noah and Jane is a mystery. His given name could be Franklin or it could be Benjamin or both. In the History of Pittsford, Appendix p697 author Caverly lists a Benjamin F. Cooley b. 1825. In the Hillsdale County Michigan US 1850 census there is a "Franklin", age 25, living with Samuel T Cooley. In the Burr Oak, St Joseph County, Michigan US census of 1860 a Benjamin F Cooley was living with the N.M. Ellis household (Milton P Cooley was also a resident of Burr Oak).
