Notes |
- William Cooley was a Methodist Episcopal minister who was ousted from the M-E church in 1858 or 9 and later was a joint founder of the Free Methodist denomination.... Reference: Populist Saints: B. T. and Ellen Roberts and the First Free Methodists by Howard A. Snyder.... Eerdmans Publ, Grand Rapids, 2006.

William Cooley MAY BE the son of Rufus Cooley of Otsego County, NY Rufus' son William was born 17 Jul 1817, see Cooley Genealogy, p. 562. One reason for my supposition, besides the close birthdate reference is that another minister listed in the Methodist Episcopal history is Rufus, Jr. William's brother, Rufus, was born 6 Feb 1826.
