Thanks, Bonnie. The Margaret A. Reed I am looking for was born in Missouri in 1846 and married PERRIN C. Cooley 1820-1912. Any clues there?
One of their sons was Patrick Albert/Princes Albert Cooley. Do you also have a Margaret Reed married to Patrick Albert? That would be something new.
Thanks for your interest!
Nancy and Joel Cooley

Besides being a descendant of Jemima Cooley who md Thomas Kirkland White, I am also a descendant of their daughter, Mary Frances who md Elijah M Reed. I believe he is related to Margaret Reed who md Patrick A Cooley. She was one of at least 9 children of John Reed and Margaret Gifford. Some of her siblings were born in Schuyler County, MO and at least 2 of her siblings died in California.
