Jane pointed out the confusion between the William Cooleys. This is what I
have:
Son of John Cooley and Elizabeth White:
William C Cooley (1818-1891) m1 Elizabeth Jane Fields m2 Mary M Shoemaker
Believed to be son of Perrin Cooley Sr:
William C Cooley (1819-1900+) m Frances Elizabeth Andrews
Son of James Cooley (-1821):
William W Cooley (1818- MO) m1 ___ m2 Sarah Ann Ballinger
There's very little on William W. Rick Ernst found that he went to jail
with his brother Cornelius:

I have this record attributed to this William but I'm not sure:
1850 > MISSOURI > MACON > 52-DIST
Series: M432 Roll: 405 Page: 179
William Cooley 47 SC
Sarah J " 33 SC
But that puts his birth in 1803! I suspect the census is wrong--or it's
the wrong man.
Looking over my notes, I'm still not sure that I have the three straight.
