| John
Cooley (c1740-1811)4 Said by Pat Walker to have been Johannes Cool-1. |
William Coolley
(-1817)5 "of Irish extraction." married Elizabeth Firmin |
Johannes Cool-1 (bapt 1741-)6 By 1982, Pat Walker decided that this, the son of the above couple, was John, who he said married Elizabeth Fermin. |
Only known child by Sara Westval: Johannes Cool-2 (bapt 1740-)7 This is the man Lura Hamil said married first Annetje Decker and married second Elizabeth Firmin (who really married William Cooley, three columns to the left) and was the progenitor of the Fayette county PA Cooleys. Pat Walker bought the Cooley/Firmin marriage and by 1980 made Johannes Cool (as John Cooley, first column) the founder of the Stokes county NC Cooleys (which is decidedly not true). DNA test results, not to mention the total lack of supporting genealogical documentation, disprove these relationships. |
