The rest of the markers for the second Wm H Cooley tester have come in.

I've also posted them here, just below Edmond's results, which I think is
a little easier to read:

As mentioned earlier, the mismatch at DYS439 went away, but the others
have held. Before passing judgement on that, we need to remember that the
WMC and Perrin Sr descendants match the 12 repeats at DYS442. But we now
know that Jim Cooley is not descended from WMC. To a degree, that match
was a false lead. But I think the 15 repeats at loci 23 and the 18 repeats
at loci 32 for the three "PA Cooley" testers are telling.
So, were William Henry and James of Jack County TX brothers? I think we
have a strong genetic case for it. But the genealogy needs to be done. We
know they were both born in PA and both lived in Ohio before moving to
Illinois, but that's about it.
