  • Notes 
    • CHESTER COOLEY was born June 19, 1817, in Cambria, Niagara Co, New York. He is the son of Samuel and Polly (Dyke) Cooley. At the age of eighteen, in the fall of 1835, he settled with his parents in the town of Bruce. Hs was married, August 24, 1838, to Jane, daughter of Jacob Kisoe, of Ontario County, NY. They have seven children - Noah, Polly, Anna, Chester Dike, Sarah Jane, Eunice Beach and Manley Benjamin. By request of his father, it was arranged that the patrimonial estate should revert to him, consequently it was his home, and he cared for his father and mother through their declining years. In 1868, he left his homestead and bought his residence on Main street, north, where he has since resided. He still owns 200 acres \emdash the old farm in Bruce, a part inherited from his father and the rest purchased from the several heirs; also owns two farms in Ray, including 227 acres; also cedar and pine lands and village property in Romeo. He was an inherent Democrat, to which party he adhered until the rise of the Free-Soil party, and afterward became a Republican.

      Chester was a Justice of the Peace in 1868. [7]
