Thanks Gloria,
Jeff is one of our resident geniuses on the W G Cooley line. :)
Using google, the only place I've seen mention of Amos is in posts written
by James Plunk. He lacks a date for the marriage. I don't know when WG's
second wife died, but it looks plausible that he had another child just
before he died. Here's the pertinent part of the tree that James provided.
He married a Bogue. DNA might solve this one:
Jeff, does this sound reasonable to you?
