Daniel Cooley2 was the fourth child and third son of
the immigrant Benjamin Cooley and his wife Sarah.
He was born in Springfield, and spent his entire life in
that vicinity, being one of those in Longmeadow to
sign the petition of 1702/3 for permission to remove to
higher ground following the flooding of the Long-

meadow lowlands along the Connecticut River.
His occupation was that of a husbandman. He took
an active part, if less outstanding than his father's, in
the public affairs of Springfield, and was a man of con-
siderable means for his time, dealing in several sales of
property as listed in the pages to follow having to do
with his deeds. His estate was valued at £825-5-11 when
it was settled in 1729, the year following his death.
He served as a selectman of Springfield in 1694/5.
The first reference to him in the public records of
Springfield is in 1678, when he was 27 years old, and
two years before his first marriage. He is known to
have taken the Oath of Allegiance in that year.
In 1680, on December 8, Daniel Cooley married Eliz-
abeth Wolcott. He was 29 years old, and Elizabeth

THE COOLEY GENEALOGY
was 18. She was of the third generation in this country,
her grandfather, Henry Wolcott1, having come to
America in 1630. Her father was Simon Wolcott. Her
mother was Martha Pitkin, sister of Mr. William Pit-
kin, the progenitor of the Pitkin family in America, and
of Roger Pitkin of London. She was born in England in
1638.
Martha Pitkin
She followed her brother William to America in 1661,
to return with him to England, 'not once supposing he
intended to remain in the wilderness,' as she expressed
it. Her first greeting on meeting her brother, whom
she found feeding his swine, was, 'I left a brother in
England serving his king, and find another in America
serving his swine.'
Martha Pitkin was a lady endowed with more than
ordinary talent, improved by an excellent education.
The reception she met with in the colony was most
flattering; her comely form and accomplished manner

making the colonists anxious to retain her in their
country. In the words of the Rev. Thomas Robbins,
for many years the pastor of the church she attended,
'this girl put the colony in commotion. If possible she
must be detained. The stock was too valuable to be
parted with. It became a matter of general consultation
what young man was good enough for Miss Pitkin.'
Tradition says that so many young men wished to marry
the accomplished beauty, that they cast lots for her
hand, but fails to say what part Miss Pitkin was to take
in the affair. The facts are, that the sons of Henry Wol-
cott, one of the first settlers of East Windsor, were well
pleased with Miss Pitkin, and to avoid all question of
strife or jealousy, it is believed it was decided by lot
among themselves which one should sue for her hand.
The lot fell to Simon Wolcott, the youngest son; at all
events, he pressed his suit, and was successful. Her
brother favored the match, and she became the wife
of Simon Wolcott, and subsequently the mother of
Governor Roger Wolcott, grandmother of Governor
Oliver Wolcott, and great-grandmother of the second
Governor Oliver Wolcott, and of Governor Roger Gris-

wold. Governor Ellsworth was also a lineal descendant,
and her granddaughter married Governor Matthew
Griswold.
It was stated in the funeral sermon of Governor Roger
Wolcott, her ninth child, that 'he never went to school,
but was educated by his mother in her own dwelling'f.
The Wolcott Line
The English ancestry of the Wolcotts goes back to 'John Wool-
cott I of Tolland, Somersetshire, England, whose will was dated
there Feb. 9, 1571, and proved Apr. 11, 1572. In his will are
mentioned the children John, Alice and Mary, his wife Agnes, and
brothers Henry and Roger Woolcot.
The will of John Wolcot II of Tolland, dated Nov. 10, 1623,
mentions several children, among them his two eldest sons,
Christopher Wolcott and Henry Woollcott. His wife's name was
Joan.
Henry Wolcott, the surviving son of John and Joan Wolcott,
was baptised at the parish Lidiard St. Lawrence, adjoining Tol-
land, Dec. 6, 1578. Several statements about when he came to
America exist: one, that he came to Dorchester, Mass., in 1628;

another, that he came on the ship "Mary and John" in the first
company, Mar. 20, 1630, landing at Nantasket, Mass. At any
rate he was one of the original settlers of Dorchester, and held
many positions of trust. In 1636/7 he moved to Windsor, Conn.,
being one of five gentlemen who undertook the settlement of
that town. He was elected to the house of magistrates of Con-
necticut in 1643, and served for the rest of his life. He died Mary
30, 1655, and left an enviable record as the progenitor of one of
the most deservedly prominent families of this country.
Henry Wolcott m. in England, Jan. 19,1606, Elizabeth Saunders,
da. Thomas. She is buried with her husband in the rear of the
First Congregational Church in Windsor. The gravestone erected
to their memory by their son-in-law, Matthew Griswold of Wind-
sor, who m. their daughter Anna Wolcott, is still standing.
The seven children of Henry and Elizabeth (Saunders) were
aJl born in England. John apparently remained there, and died
in England; Anna married Matthew Griswold of Windsor; Mary
married Job Drake of Windsor; the other children were Henry,
George, Christopher and Simon.

THE COOLEY GENEALOGY
Simon Wolcott2, the youngest son, was born Sept. 11, 1624/5,
in England. His parents removed to America when he was about
five years old; after getting settled in this country, they sent for
the children. The exact date of their arrival is not known. Simon
Wolcott was a freeman in 1654. After leaving Windsor, he lived
in Simsbury, Conn., where in 1673 he was captain of a trainband,
and in 1674 a selectman. He received a grant of 200 acres from
the General Court in 1680, and was one of the few men in the
Colony honored with the title of "Mister."
Simon Wolcott m. (1) Mar. 19, 1657, Joanna Cook, b. Aug. 5,
1638, d. Apr. 27, 1657, about six weeks after her marriage, when
she was only eighteen years old; he was (2) the successful suitor
for the hand of Martha Pitkin, after she arrived in Windsor in
1661, and on Oct. 17, 1661, they were married. After the death of
Simon Wolcott, Martha m. Daniel Clark, Esq. She died Oct. 13,
1719, aged 80.
