I'm guessing that Mark was one of the Demarcus Cooleys, son of James and
Jane White Cooley, probably born in the 1820s, or Edward Demarcus Cooley
(1827-), son of John Cooley (1793-1844) and Elizabeth White, or perhaps
another that we have no knowledge about.
I have no idea who the William D Cooley was. A small part of modern day
Independence lies in Clay County. Perhaps that's a clue.
