Here is further evidence that this is our Edmond Cooley on the 1850 census:
Selected U.S. Federal Census Non-Population Schedules, 1850-1880
28 Sept 1850
Line 18 - Jefferson Cooly
Line 19 - Edward Mason
Line 20 - G. Gilbert
Line 21 - B. Gilbert
Line 22 - G. Cannon
Line 23 - Thomas Gregory
Line 24 - Wm Rabb
Line 25 - Perry Gilbert/Gibbert
Line 26 - Jonas Gils
Line 27 - Vincent Kimbrell
---Line 28 - ? McAllester
---Line 29 - Edmond Cooly [?Edward - but see line 31]
---Line 30 - P McMullen
Line 31 - Lewis Powel/Pond?
---Line 32 - Edmd Cooly J (Jr) [?Edwd] [See line 28]
Line 33 - Joseph Cooley
It is difficult to read some of the first names/letters as the book is not
fully open. But notice the order of the entries 28-30. We know from the
1850 census that Line 32 here was Edmond Cooley (Jr) on the census.
I hope this is clearer than mud!
This also makes Edmond Cooley Sr more likely to have been Rice Cooley listed
on the 1800 census.

I believe this particular census taker had lots of problems with names or
perhaps couldn't read his own writing when recopying it to the final census
sheets!
There is this entry:
Family 1542:
A. McAllister 50 m Farmer $700 Ireland
Gency " 29 F SC
J.W. McAllester 2 m SC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Family 1543:
Edmond 75 m Farmer $1000 SC
Mary 14 f SC
Caroline 12 f SC
Sally 9 F SC
Betsey Glenn 28 f SC
(no last name given except for Betsey. One would assume last name would be
McAllester as above family - however, why would Edmond 75 be born in SC and
50 y.o. A.McAllister be born in Ireland?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Family 1544:
Picnkey McAllister 25 m farmer $400 SC
Adeline " 23 f SC
Martha " 8 f SC
Celia " 6 f SC
Doctor " 4 m SC
Wallis " 2 m SC
(The last name is listed as McAllister - but this is remarkably similar to
William Pinkney McMillin & Adeline Cooley McMillin)
Now for the leap - Could this be Edmond Cooley? in Family 1543 whose
birthdate would be 1775??? Edmond who married Charlotte Speace?
