William Cooley & Sarah Westfall
I'm searching for someone to confirm information that I have found while researching my husband's Cooley lineage.My husband descends from Elizabeth Cooley born 1790 in Stokes County, NC and married William White on July 4, 1813.Elizabeth's father was Joseph Cooley, and there's no mother listed, although we have seen references that he was married to an Elizabeth Fermin, Keziah Casey, and another woman.We would like help finding her mother.We have seen trees and such giving her paternal grandfather as John Cooley.Different sources say he was born in Stokes, NC; Virginia; and Orange County, NY.We have also found sources saying that John Cooley is the son of Lambert Cooley and Sarah Van Gordon, and grandson of William Cornelius Cooley and Sarah Westfall.I would like to confirm that this is the correct family as there are so many Cooley lines, and different books on the various lines.We hope to obtain the book of our line, and add our family to the Cooley family tree which we belong to, but we need this verified.We will happily provide our family line if needed.
