John Cooley and Sarah Willis children?

I have a DNA match on Ancestry.com with a descendant of a Nancy Cooley.
"I am thinking it likely that Nancy Cooley might have been the 2nd child of John Cooley and Sarah Willis because they had your Elizabeth about 1794 and my Nancy was born in 1797 in Ky. She married my 3rd great grandfather in Casey County KY which is where your Cooley family is from. In looking at Elizabeth's children's names, she named her daughter Nancy. Looking at my gm Nancy's children, she and Elizabeth both have a John (possibly named after their father John). My Nancy also has a daughter Lucinda (your John and Sarah Willis had a daughter Lucinda) My Nancy also has a daughter Sarah Jane (possibly after her mother Sarah and sister Jane?) I am going to put John and Sarah as parents of my Nancy to see if anything else pops up."
Given that my Cooley connection is through Elizabeth's daughter, Nancy Jane, I am inclined to agree that there is a lot of circumtantial evidence that points to John and Sarah as Nancy's parents.
I'm waiting for an invitation to her tree to see who Nancy's husband is and if there is more information about Casey County connections.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
