We were thinking that James and Martha Cooley took in Elizabeth, E.C., Polly, and Willow after John hung himself. If in fact that John is whom we are assuming.
I wish I could get to Dickson and do some digging around.

These are probably his siblings: William, Perrin, Nellie Green, Hannah
Bearden (!), Elizabeth Stinson, Angeline Morgan, and Edward Cooley.
Likely, they are listed by age--perhaps some of the younger ones might
have been nieces or nephews. An Edward Cooley, if fact, shows up on a
census with Perrin Cooley:
1850 > ILLINOIS > CALHOUN > ILLINOIS
Series: M432 Roll: 99 Page: 306
Perrin Cooley 27 Farmer MO
Harriet Cooley 19 IL
Edward Cooley 18 MO
The question, of course, is how is EC related? Perhaps a nephew he
ignored, a son of a deceased brother?
Someone needs to look carefully at the court records for Dickson county.
