8. | Noah Cooley was born on 2 Jul 1782 in Pittsford, Republic of Vermont (son of Benjamin5 Cooley and Ruth Beach); died after 1850. Other Events and Attributes:
Notes: Grandma Carrie Louella Miller-Cooley's anecdote: "They" lived 13 miles from Niagara Falls but never saw them. (This would be Robert Reed's grandfather's family, Noah Cooley and Jane Sutherland who lived on Holland Land Purchase property in Niagara County New York about 13 miles direct line distance east from the Falls). Another anecdote (Dale Cooley): They could sometimes see a rainbow caused by water spray from the Falls. Noah married Jane Sutherland on 24 Jan 1804 in Pittsford, Rutland Co, Vermont. Jane (daughter of Peter Sutherland and Carol Bush) was born on 24 Aug 1787 in Nine Partners, Dutchess Co, New York; died before 1850. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
9. | Jane Sutherland was born on 24 Aug 1787 in Nine Partners, Dutchess Co, New York (daughter of Peter Sutherland and Carol Bush); died before 1850. Notes: (Research):Jane's death is even more mysterious than Noah's because the last record about her I have been able to find is the 1840 U.S. Census, Michigan, Lenawee, Seneca. There is an 1845 Michigan state census but the summary on Ancestry.com lists only head of household, namely, Noah Cooley, MI, Lenawee, Seneca. Notes: Married:
