Alice,
In my research and quest to find a family member, Sullivan H. Cooley, I did some research on George and Eunice, thinking (a researcher led me to believe this) they were part of the family.They did live very close to my family in Guthrie Co., Iowa for a while before they moved on to Carroll Co., Iowa.
In "The Cooley Genealogy" by Mortimer E. Cooley done in 1941, I find pretty much what you have discovered. ie (1.) Benjamin Cooley & Sarah. (2.) Daniel Cooley, b. May 2, 1651, Springfield, Mass.; d. there Feb. 9, 1727; m. Dec 8, 1680 Springfield, Elizabeth Wolcott, b. Aug. 19, 1662, d. Jan. 31, 1706/7, Springfield.(3.) Benjamin Cooley, b. Oct. 8, 1681, Springfield, Mass, d. about 1745, probably Greenwhich, Mass. m. Jan. 30, 1701 Margaret Bliss, she was born Nov. 30, 1683.(4.)Benjamin Cooley b. Nov.5, 1701, Springfield, Mass.,m. (1) Sept. 1, 1730 Brimfield, Elizabeth Charles, b. Feb. 15,1709/10 springfield, d. Oct. 26, 1743 Brimfield; (2) Feb. 14, 1744/5 Brimfield, Mary Needham, b. June 21, 1725, prob. Springfield.(5.)Caleb Cooley, b. Feb. 12, 1762, Greenwhich, Mass.' d. Feb. 13, 1813, Pittsford, Vt.m. May 6, 1784, Elizabeth Sanford, b. Apr. 26, 1762.(6.)John Cooley, b. Mar. 19, 1797, Pittsford, Vt.d. there July 17, 1856;m. Oct. 12, 1823, Pittsford, Amanda Cook.He was a potter by trade.(7.)George Cooley, b. June 27, 1826; m. Eunice Jenkins.In the book it does not go any further than this.
From census (1870) informationwe find George and Eunice with children, Ervin 18, Helen, 12, Emma, 9, George, 5, liola, 6/12.In the 1860 census we find George and Eunice with Henry, 9; Irvin, 7; & Helen A., 2.
I have also found two people who are associated with this family. One is Mrs. Jean Rentmeister, who is associated with the "Cooley Family Association", of which I am also a member.A couple of other people that I have written to also belong to this line, one specifically to Helen A. who married a Seigler.If you would like email address, I can give them to you.
I have also the obituaries from the paper on George, 4 September 1899 and Eunice, 31 December 1911.They are in Manning, Iowa.
Hope this helps.
