Edward Cooley could be the missing son using his middle name --- James Edward
Cooley. The age fits to be a brother.
Maybe it goes like this
Perrin Cooley goes to Illinois and takes his two cousins with him. I think the
birth place of Illinois is probably wrong. There is lots of researchs that
needs to be done. But I have faith that we will solve this.
I tried to find a second marriage for Nancy Massey Cooley with no luck so maybe
she did die after the 1840 census and before the 18 50.

Subject: Re: Isaac Cooley's missing children
Good work, Sandy!
There's also this Harriet in 1850:
1850 > ILLINOIS > CALHOUN > ILLINOIS
Series: M432 Roll: 99 Page: 306
Perrin Cooley 27 Farmer MO
Harriet Cooley 19 IL
Edward Cooley 18 MO
Can we put any of the Cooleys in IL at this early a date? It could be an
error.
The old query we've references said that the mother also died. That could
well have happened in the 1840s. The children may have scattered among
relatives. I haven't a clue who this Edward is.
