Subject: Daniel Cooley / Edmond Cooley
The Y-DNA sample for a descendant of Daniel Cooley is in the lab. We
should know the results in about 6 weeks.
Several years ago my dad (Allison Claude "Jack" Cooley) volunteered his
DNA for his mitochondria. (He died in 2011.) There's still a sample left.
A few weeks ago I ordered Family Finder and a look at the two Y-STRs of
mine that mismatch the modal. Results are due May 5.
And I'm taking a closer look at the descendants of Edmond Cooley:
http://ancestraldata.com/ahnentafel/256/lineages/edmond-desc.html
For those who may not know, a descendant of Edmond's matches 37 of 37
markers of our modal. That he appears on at least one record in
Spartanburg SC with Luke Burnett, John Cooley's son in law, in 1805 make
it all but certain that he's of our group. He was of age (about 27) in
1800 to have been on the census, which is one reason I think he *might*
have been Rice Cooley. Of course, he could have been out of the area
already. John had five young males under 17 on the 1790 census. They would
have been Perrin, James, Edmond or Rice, Reuben and Cornelius.
A more detailed study of Edmond's children is in order. Perhaps some
article, bio, family bible, or obit will make some kind of allusion to the
person's grandparents.
