Yes, there are a lot of inconsistencies in census. (I have an ancestress who was described as male on the 1880 census. I like to think it was because she was smoking her pipe.)
In 1910, Stephen states that his father was born in NC. All put together these statements actual represent a pattern. Essentially, Reuben's descendants were aware of a heritage in several places: KY, NC and Eng. And these places fit. In other words, there are no statements that are completely off the wall, such as New Hampshire. Edmund Cooley (John, John) said his father was born in VA.
And yes, the certificate you mention below is the one that I ordered.
I wrote the following last night but set it aside for edit. I'll forgo the edit and send it on as is.....
I'm looking right now at the 1900 census for Stephen. It states that both of
his parents were born in KY. Clearly, Reuben was not. The Reuben of Marion
County found on the 1850 census was born in NC. Although it's not a popular
opinion :), I'm still looking for another man who may have been Stephen's father.
Looking further, Stephen states in the 1900 census that his father was born in
Kentucky. Rubin Cooley, age 40 and son of George W(ashington?) Cooley states
his father was born in KY. Joseph Cooley, another son of George, states
parents were born in KY. James Cooley, son of George, give parents born KY.
Cornelius Cooley, 36 and brother of Stephen, states his parents born in KY.
However, on the 1910 census Stephen -does- say his father was born in NC.
George W Cooley was in Casey County, not Marion County, in 1880. He gives his
age as 79 (born ca 1801) and he and parents born in NC. Am I confusing two
Georges?
On the 1910 census, I see a Daniel Cooley in Hayesville, Marion Co, KY, born
c1878, married Lizzie, son Rubin, daughter Bettee. Does anyone know where he
fits in?
I see a Rubin Cooly (note spelling) of Hayesville, 1900, married Mary, sons
Florance and Will. I've revised the birthdates on the "Y" page based on that.

> I have Stephen dying in Marion County, Kentucky. And the 1880 & 1900 Census (see below) says he was living in Haysville, Marion Co., Kentucky and that his dad was born in Kentucky, not England. Also tossed in 1860 Census.
