I don’t know if this will be anything new – but here are land records for Perrin Cooley Sr & Jr:
10 Jan 1828, Randolph County, Missouri - "Perrin Cooley of Chariton County, Missouri"
24 Apr 1833, Randolph County, Missouri - Perrin Cooley of Randolph County
10 Nov 1841, Randolph County, Missouri - "Perrin Cooley, Senior" of Randolph County, Missouri”
02 Nov 1837, Randolph County, Missouri - “Perrin Cooley, Junior of Randolph County, Missouri”
10 Nov 1841, Randolph County, Missouri - "Perrin Cooley, Junior of Randolph County, Missouri"
01 Aug 1857, Macon County, Missouri – “Perrin Cooley of Macon County, Missouri”
10 Oct 1859, Macon County, Missouri - "Perrin Cooley of Macon County, Missouri"
In 1860, Perrin Cooley (Jr.) had real estate valued at $880 – 1870, he had no real estate.
Just wanted to add my 2 cents worth!

In support of the five son theory, Perrin has four son on the 1810 census.
As best as we've been able to tell, Perrin Jr hadn't been born yet. But I
can think of nothing that would identify that other son. :(
Incidentally, for those who may have missed or forgotten, Perrin sold his
Casey Co KY land in 1811. His wife, Sarah, was named. She was likely the
mother of all his children. Of course, they probably married in Stokes Co
NC.
