Shirley Wilcox has pointed out that James A Cooley could be James Armstrong Cooley and, therefore, son of Edward. Below are the notes she sent to me. The case can be made stronger due to the fact that James stated on the 1856 Iowa census that he had been in the state for 16 years. Edward stated the same thing. Thomas (Edward's brother) had arrived only c1850.
From Shirley Wilcox:
his is simply a hypothesis. Here is my rational for placing James as a son of Edward Cooley (I've also included his movements)
* On the 1850 census of Appanoose Co., IA, Edward Cooley has a son Armstrong, b. ca 1830, IN
* James A. Cooley m. Elmira Mooreland, 13 Jan 1855, Appanoose Co., IA (FHL #1,007,081)
* On the 1860 census Appanoose Co., IA a James Cooley (b c1831, IN) & Elmira plus daughters Elizabeth & Sarah are living next to A. W. Cooley (b. c1828, IN), who I have speculated was Aaron W Cooley and the oldest son of Edward
* History of Appanoose Co., IA (Western Hist. Co., 1878), p414: 36th Infantry, Co I: Jas A Cooley, enl. 11 Oct 1862
* James A Cooly m Mary A Tyler, 22 April 1866, Putnam Co., MO (from FHL #431,521, Broderbund Family Archive CD 234)
* On the 1870 census Putnam Co., MO, James Cooley has a new wife May, daughters Elizabeth (15) & Sarah J (12) then a Charles (3) & Louis A (1). Living in the household is Thomas Cooley, 19, b. IA (perhaps his brother & a son of Edward Cooley; see 1860 census Appanoose Co., IA)
* In 1880 J A Cooley (b c1830, IN) is a miller in Madison Co., MO; par. both b IN, which does not agree with what is known about Edward, but census records are not too reliable; wife May & son C E (10, b MO) & George (8, b MO)

Suggests that Mary Tyler was really Mary Arnetta Ticer, m James A Cooley 23 Apr 1866. She was the d/o Allen Tycer, b c1811 Dickson co TN.

That's the CW pension file cost, not service record. However I just
checked and there is a pension. And yes, the Archives wants to raise the
price. So, order now!
