3. | ![]() Notes: I have made my first major departure from the Cooley Genealogy. It lists the children of Noah Cooley and Jane Sutherland the fourth of which was listed as "1810 James G." This name cannot be verified in any census or documentation. However, Jane Eliza married a Coomer, is listed as the daughter of Noah Cooly (sic) and Jane Cooly (sic) in "Michigan Deaths 1867-1897". She died in Seneca, Lanawee, Michigan on 10 Oct 1871 near her brothers Caleb Carroll and Samuel Thurman

Notes: Exact Massachusetts township and county in which born are from apocryphal, unsourced family trees on Ancestry.com. One tree lists the 1850 and 1860 censuses as sources for this but the only information that can be garnered from these censuses is approximate birth year and the U.S. state in which born David married Betsey Cole. Betsey was born about 1790 in New York; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |

6. | ![]() 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] |
7. | 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:

8. | Benjamin Coomer was born about 1748 in Providence, Providence Co, Rhode Island; died on 26 Oct 1817 in Newfane Twp, Niagara Co, New York.

He died October 26th, 1817 and was buried in the village cemetery at Olcott. A common field stone marks his resting place, and only his name and the above date can be traced, the rest having scaled off by the action of the atmosphere. Benjamin married Ruth Goff on 17 Dec 1771 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co, Massachusetts. Ruth was born on 14 Aug 1748 in Rehoboth, Bristol Co, Massachusetts; died about 1828. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
