Marriage Notes for EDMUND/EDMOND/EDWARD COOLEY and (POLLY) COLEY/UNKNOWN:
There is a NC. marriage record on the internet which reads as such:
Edmund COLEY and Dolly COLEY. It also appears this way on the NC. marriage records. Bond #000111047; Record #01 047.
Bondsman: (John) Jonathon Lane; Witness: John B. Troy
1-01-2000, A personal observation of mine and several cousins is that Edmund and Polly may have had more children than the 9
which are listed here: Nancy, John, Cynthia, Jenny, Patsey, William, Maraba, Thomas and Matilda. This conclusion is from the
fact that they were married in 1816 and there are no children shown to be born until 1823. A five year gap without children is
unlikely in those times for such a prolific clan of people who were farmers and needed more (male) children to labor on their land.
All of the above children were listed in the household of Edmund in 1850 Boyd Co., KY. Census, except for Nancy, who was
listed in the household of her husband, Thomas Halley.
8-17-2001, Recent evidence of a document to dispose of the estate of Edmund Cooley, lists the names for some of his other
children, not mentioned before, bringing the total up to 13 children. Any more out there?

Edward was very cruel to his wife and mean to his children.
Elizabeth died young and is buried in Ridgeway Cemetery in Wellston, Jackson Co., OH. located near an overgrown rose bush.
She and her husband's names are inscribed on the obelisk shaped tombstone. One side of the stone was prepared for Elizabeth.
The other side of the stone had Edward's name carved into it for future burial. There is no death date inscribed under his name,
which leads the family to believe it is a cenotaph for him. It may still hold true that Edward is somewhere unknown in an
unmarked grave. We believe his daughter, Grace COOLEY-KINSEL saw to that.
