19. | Benjamin4 Cooley (11.Benjamin33, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Martha1) was born on 5 Nov 1701 in Springfield, Hampshire Co, Massachusetts; died on 1 Apr 1790 in Pittsford, Rutland Co, Republic of Vermont; was buried about Apr 1790 in Old Baptist Burying Ground, Pittsford, Rutland Co, Vermont. Notes:
Benjamin4 Cooley was born 5 Nov 1701, probably in the long meddowe precinct of Springfield, Hampshire County, Massachusetts. He was twice married, first to Elisabeth Charles, second to Mary Needham.
In Mass Vital Records microfilmed by LDS Church there is an entry: #9-Greenwich p36 "Mary daughter of Benjn Cooley by Mary his wife was born Dec 24, 1768". This is highly unlikely since there was already a Mary Cooley b. 1750, d. 1769. While the first Mary died young in 1769 and sometimes families, who lost a child renamed a later child the same name, there is overlap here.
