This entry is of interest as Edmond's father (John) is stated as being born in Virginia. We know, of course, that census records can often be in error but this is the only statement regarding his father's birth that is known to exist. Until we have something better, it will have to do.
Edmond Cooley 63 Black Smith KY VA KY
Nancy 64 Keeping House KY KY KY
Edmond's mother-in-law, Salley (Sinkhorn?) is living with the family, 80 years old, born KY, both parents born in Virginia.
