Hi, Giles Sanford Cooley was my g-g-grandfather's brother and that is his obit.Gile's parents were John Cooley and Lovina Sanford.John was born in Lyme, Connecticut around 1774.His father was also John Cooley but he died several months before John was was born.The other siblings (the aunts and uncles of Giles) were Mathew, Selah, Theada and Mehetible.Their grandfather, Matthew Cooley was the son of Eliakim Cooley.Eliakim Cooley was the son of the first Eliakim Cooley who was the son of Benjamin Cooley of Longmeadow.So..you are Benjamin, Eliakim1, Eliakim2, Matthew, John, John and you got the rest.I'll share my records.I just got back from Canada and Michigan doing research and going to a family reunion. Giles and family are in Lambton County (town called Bosanquet) in 1861 and ten years prior he was in Adelaide.I am going to England in a few weeks to do some research where Benjamin was christened.Hope to hear from you.
