Hi Bruce, Just browsing through the Cooley notes and found your query. I wonder if this William that you seek is one in the same as the William born in Sunderland, Ma June of 1812, the son of Moses and Lucretia[Allen]Cooley. If so, this William and another sibling, Nancy, my 3G grandmother are brother and sister. I did find that he was recorded in the 1840 census in Newtown,Fairfield, Ct. If this be the one, then indeed you are the first one that I have found that would be also working on this branch of the Cooley family. This Moses branch is one of the more vague families that I have attempted to gain information on. It just seems that they had malice aforethought in not recording births, deaths, marriages, nor do they as a family appear in any census----I, right now, am stuck on the family of Moses' wife, LucretiaAllen----nothing is recorded---Anyhow, will be glad to share info that I do have. Good Luck in your search!! Bob Sears
