I have a note from probably 30 yrs ago regarding this source: "American
State Papers, Vol 15, James Cooley, 1st Lt Appt. under executive
proceedings of the Territory of Missouri, 20 Oct 1817."
I feel it is the James who was the father of my Jemima Cooley. He died 1
Oct 1821 in Howard County, MO. The first Judicial Circuit in the state of
Missouri was set as a court of chancery in Fayette, Howard County.
I remember attending a lecture years ago about the "wonders" of the
Territorial Papers. The lecturer said that they held a gold mine of
information and were slowly being released. I have heard nothing further. I
don't know where you would find them. I think I asked Michael about this a
while ago. Somehow I thought they were at the State Archives in Jefferson
City, MO but they may be in the National Archives.
