Research Notes
Pre-Servitude Sources:
Proposed christening record: John Cooley, son of Peter and Mary Cooley, baptized 7 Apr 1760 Bethnal Green St. Matthew, London, England. (2)
Comments:
An IGI submission identifies John's father as co-servant Peter Cooley. It is also possible that he was christened in 1757 at Bethnal Green St. Matthew to John and Mary Cooley.
