Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Lewis T. Cooley was born about Jan 1842 in Garnavillo Twp, Clayton Co, Iowa Territory; died in 1900-1910 in Washington or Nebraska.

    Notes:

    After comparing all available censuses from 1850 thru 1900 a middle initial of "T" rises to the top. The 1850 census was especially wrong with his name "Louis F". Also, in Garnavillo: Gem of the Prairie it is spelled "Lewis" with a "T".

    Census locations of Lewis T CooleyIn 1850 in Andrew S Cooley household in Garnavillo, Clayton Co, Iowa; 1856, same; 1860, same; 1870, separate household; 1880 own houshold in Mendon Co Iowa; on June 1st 1885 in Charles Mix, Dakota Territory; on June 10th 1900 in Dry Creek, Pierce, Nebraska
    Lewis' death information is unknown. He appeared in the 1900 US Census, NE Dry Creek aged 57 along with his wife Etta A aged 37 and Warren (21), Elsie (13), and Alta (6). He does not appear in any 1920 census while his wife Etta as head of household and son Warren are found in the Port Angeles Washington 1920 census.

    (Research): There are two Lewis Cooleys listed in the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War website (SUVCW website: http://www.suvcwdb.org) (1) Lewis Newman Cooley buried Bloomington WI and a (2) Lewis F Cooley, served in the 14th Iowa Inf, GAR Post 615 bur Oakridge Cem, Cook Co, IL. Neither of these Lewises are our Lewis so it can be concluded that, although he was registered in the Civil War draft, he was not a Civil War Veteran as was his brother Peter S. Cooley.

    Lewis married Etta A Wife of Lewis T Cooley before 1876 in Probably Clayton County, Iowa. Etta was born about Jul 1852 in Howard, Fulton Co, Illinois; died about 1935 in Port Angeles, Clallam Co, Washington; was buried about 1935 in Mount Angeles Memorial Park, Clallam Co, Washington.
