With a name like "Skip" you can't be all bad!That's my nickname too.
I have
Gideon Cooley b. 27 Sep. 1804 in Mass [Death Certif Joseph Cooley his son] or Conn 1900 census Colorado]
m. Caroline Nichols [?? Death cert not clearly legible]
with son Joseph H. Cooley b. 23 Jun 1838 [his death cert] in
New York [his death cerif; census Colo 1900, Cook co. Ill 1880, McHenry co. Ill 1870] or Illinois [death certif of his
daughter Beulah]
and with dau Caroline b 8 Nov, 1834 Long Meadow, Mass.
But I have no proof that she was his sister, and her birth stats are from an unsourced database.
I suspect that my Gideon, who was my g-g grandfather, was
son or grandson of the Gideon you show as son of Simon son
of Simon son of Daniel son of Benjamin.Can you clarify for me?
Also, I see in this forum a Benjamin at the head of the
line down to Gideon, and a benjamin at the head of a line
Benjamin father of Joseph father of Joseph father of James.
Are the two Benjamins the same?I.e. is Joseph son of Benjamin a brother of Daniel son of Benjamin?
Thanks
