I've asked Fred Cohoon and others if there was any documentation for a
William being William's father but they could come up with none. There
were already a lot of different Cooleys in Ohio by the early 1800s,
including members of the Benjamin clan. Perhaps if we can pinpoint WH's
birth in PA, we might make some progress.
