• Notes

  He probably came to Perry about 1822. For many years he was a prominent member of the local Baptist Church, organized in 1825, and was its clerk for 27 years. He was a veteran of the War of 1812 and postmaster of Perry in 1838, owned a home on Covington St. and land around Silver Lake, a mile from Perry. He was in the War of 1812. His first wife Nancy Cooley, died in the Covington Street home, where she had lived but a few years, on Nov. 4 or 14, 1826, and was buried in Hope Cemetery, Perry, NY. He later married Polly (sister of Nancy). He was supposed to have died of cholera and was given a hasty burial, but there is reason to think the cause of death was a ruptured appendix. (Source: Book, THE DESCENDANTS OF DR. ASAHEL AND SALLY (WILBUR) COOLEY. The book is in the Salt Lake City Genealogical Library. He operated one of the largest tanneries in NYS with Jarius Moffet. See notes in binder. NOTE After Nancy's death, Willard married Polly about 1827
