Do we know who Harriet Cooley 19 b. IL is with Perrin Cooley? Was she a
wife? I have Margaret Ann Reed & Polly Wood as wives to Perrin C. Cooley.

I see that some time ago Sandy brought up a Charles Cooley born in Pike in
1848. No one could come up with a connection to our clan. Perhaps this
Edward was a brother.
Well, Charles Cooley and his father Edwin (m Sarah HENTHORN) are here:

Edwin is sometime referred to as Edward in other obits. I see nothing,
though, that connects to the Edward who married ___ Miller or their son
Alfred. They do look like separate families.
