4. | Benjamin1 Cooley ![]() Notes: According to research completed in 2000 by Eleanor L. Cooley Rue, circumstantial evidence links the Benjamin Cooley christened in Tring, Hertfordshire, England (chr 1615) to the Benjamin Cooley of Springfield through the posited marriage of Richard Sikes and Phebe Cooley (chr 1609), Benjamin's sister. The only evidence found by Cooley-Rue was in Benjamin Cooley's will which used the phrase "cousen Sikes". She concluded that "cousen" meant brother-in-law which it did not. Cousen was primarily used to refer to neices and nephews. A major problem with Cooley-Rue's logic is that Richard and Phebe Sikes's church activities, and his becoming a freeman are well documented* while there is no record of Benjamin and Sarah Cooley's church activities prior to 1643 (to become an accepted member of Massachusetts Bay Colony church membership was mandatory). Assuming unaccompanied women seldom made the voyage from England to New England and further assuming Phebe Cooley and Benjamin Cooley traveled together, it appears to me that information about Benjamin and Sarah must be uncovered before a link can be made between Phebe Sykes and Benjamin Cooley. *Richard Sykes joins Dorchester church 4 Nov 1639; he becomes a freeman 13 May 1640 in Cambridge; Richard marries Phebe Sykes 13 May 1640 also the date she joined the Dorchester church. Their first child Rebecca born 6 Dec 1640 in Roxbury (Pynchon's hometown). Benjamin1 married Sarah (wife of Ensign Benjamin Cooley) [?] about 1642 in Probably in the New World. Sarah was born about 1621 in Probably England; died on 23 Aug 1684 in Springfield, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

8. | Bethia Cooley ![]() Notes: Bethia Cooley's birthdate is the benchmark for Benjamin Cooley's appearance in the New World. Yet, Springfield was not an immigration port for English migrators so a considerable length time had to elapse from Benjamin Cooley's landing in Massachusetts (parobably Salem) to the time he gave birth to Bethia in Springfield. Included in this span of time would have been Benjamin and Sarah's marriage and their admission to a church. Debrett Ancestry Research, in a 1987 report for the Cooley Family Association, concluded they were not married before they left England. Bethia married Henry Chapin on 5 Dec 1664 in Massachusetts. Henry (son of Samuel Chapin and Living) was born about 1629-1630 in England; was christened on 25 Jan 1629/30 in Berry Pomeroy, Devonshire, England; died on 16 Aug 1718 in Springfield, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts.
