Hi Julie,
I first heard of Sam Cooley in a Civil War class. There was a slide of a
wagon with his name on it. (I made the professor back up so I could take a
closer look.) This is probably it:

I found this at
http://civilwartalk.com/threads/sam-a-cooley-photographer.24811/ He's
almost certainly not one of ours, but likely of either the Benjamin or the
Samuel/Prudden line.

Information on Samuel A. Cooley
Donna,
Samuel Abbot Cooley was the son of Dr. Abial Abbot Cooley of Hartford,
Connecticut. An article in the June 4, 1866, edition of the Hartford Daily
Courant noted that Cooley had been elected sheriff of Beaufort, South
Carolina. By 1869 he was back in Hartford, as the Courant had an article
in the September 3, 1869, edition detailing how Cooley had saved an old
woman from being run over by a wagon. In the February 1, 1871 edition of
the Courant, there is an advertisement noting that "Sam A. Cooley with
give an exhibition of beautiful Stereopticon
Views." The notice went on to say that "Many of the views were taken by
the proprietor while photographer for the United States in the
Department of the South, during the late war." If you would like
copies of these articles and a few others that I have, just let me know
and I will be happy to email them to you.
Jeff
PS: Cooley died on May 14, 1900, and is buried in the Old North
Cemetery in Hartford.
