I was actually thinking of the John B. Cooley line which settled in Illinois
& had a brother, Alexander Cooley, still in Ireland.
Thank you for the link!

Hi Mary,
Here's the ftdna page:
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Cooley/default.aspx?section=yresults
I'm not aware that anyone of this line from Ireland has tested.
The British Isles will probably have even more Cooley haplotypes then is
found here, considering that it is unlikely that representatives of all
Cooley family immigrated.
