Hi Barb,
I don't when or how Benjamin Cooley came over from Hertfordshire, though apparently he was in Springfield by 1644.I tend to think he may have been part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and perhaps 'broke off' when William Pynchon left to establish Springfield.Do you have additional information?
Also, can you verify where you found the information on William Cooley (Cuille) b. 1550 from Ulster on the net?I neglected to take down the source.
Thanks!
