I have another probate record for Howard County, Mo. Probate Record volume 2, page 284 [May term 1831] that shows fund being paid out of the estate by Thomas K. White, administrator.

Submitted by michael_95073 Note added Wed Jul 21 20:39:59 2010 Judging from the 1860 census, Jane's husband was James Tuttle. 1860 > MISSOURI > MACON > RUSSELL TWP Series: M653 Roll: 631 Page: 112 Submitted by michael_95073 Note added Thu Jul 22 16:08:52 2010 My placing of Jane White's husband here will be controversial. Dale Walker suggested that he was the son of Joseph's brother James. He presented no proof. I must say that I have no proof of this placement right now. But I think there is a far better candidate for James's son James--and that has possibly been proved with DNA.

James died before 1833 as Jane married Thomas Tuttle that year. Only known children that I knew of were two daughters -- Nancy and Alzada who married brothers surname Roberts. Ltr. dated 22 Nov 1936 from Sarah Ellen Roberts to WW Smith stated the following. "I do not have any record of the marriage or death of James Cooley. I do not know when Thos. Tuttle and grandmother were married. Uncle Washington was the only child that I know of and he died in 1863. The names of the boys who died young were Demarcus and Henry Cooley" Sandy Submitted by michael_95073 Note added Sat Aug 7 11:24:31 2010 Sarah Ellen's 1936 letter, along with Sandy's info, could mean this: Jane White m1 James Cooley ..Nancy Cooley m Roberts ..Alzada Cooey m Roberts ..Demarcus Cooley, died young ..Henry Cooley, died young Jane (White) Cooley m2 Thomas Tuttle ..Washington Tuttle (-1863) James Cooley appears not to be on the 1830 census confirming that he likely died by then.

Arthur's mother, Dorothy Cooley, married first her cousin (Benjamin?) Cooley and had three sons: Joseph, Michael and John William Cooley. "The bondsmen for James Cooley, [can't read] were evidently my grandfather John Cooley and Thomas (Uncle "Tant") as my father called him was evidently the brother of my grandmother White Cooley. But Jane [can't read] I cannot place but likely was sis. to my grandfather. It would be most natural to associate the close kin in such a capacity. It strikes me that this James Cooley, of August 25, 1829, John Cooley and Jane Cooley were brothers and sister and that Thos ("Tant") White was a brother to my grandmother. This latter I know to be correct, for my father spoke of him often in my childhood as my mother's uncle."

Smith dated 9 Sep 1936. --quote-- Dear Mr. Smith, Please pardon my delay in writing you. I hope the information which follows may be of some benefit to you. My grandmother' name was Jane White, daughter of Randolph and Margaret Kirkland White. She was born Jan. 26, 1802. She was married to James Cooley and three children were born to them, two boys and a girl. Alzada (she had no there name). My mother, was born Aug 25, 1826 and she was married to Burrel Roberts Aug. 27, 1846. The boys died when young. My mohter's name was Cooley and not Tuttle, as you have it. Grandmother Cooley married Thomas Tuttle as her second husband, and Washington, the father of Mrs. Terrell was their son. I think Nicholas Tuttle, The Revolutionary soldier was Thos. Tuttle's father. If you will write, Mrs. W.H. Sears of Clarence, MO. she has all the information about the Tuttle family. Grandmother had a number of brothers and sisters but the only ones I can recall her mentioning were, Harrison, Charles, John, Thomas and Tant and Margaret (Aunt Peggy Jackson). I don't know anything about the other people you inquire about. Some of the information I have given is from my Bible and part of it is from memory. I should like to meet you sometime if you are ever in Macon. Sincerely, Sarah E. Roberts. --endquote-- Submitted by michael_95073 Note added Sun Sep 25 21:56:31 2011 1900 > MISSOURI > MACON > NARROWS TWP Series: T623 Roll: 873 Page: 285 Robbert Burrel, Head, Oct 1825, 74, NC, NC, NC " Alzada M, wife, Aug 1826, 73, MO, KY, KY " Sarah E, dau, Aug 1862, MO, NC, MO Submitted by michael_95073 Note added Sat Feb 16 23:05:26 2013 That the 1900 census says that Alzada's father was born in KY, if true, is significant and confirms that placement of James as a son of Joseph's, not his brother, James, as James was still in NC in 1800.
