I haven't totally figured this out yet, but while your biography correctly lists Thomas' parents as Reuben Cooley and Sarah Gibbs, the memorial links are linked to another Thomas Cooley and Rebecca Kibbe, which I believe is incorrect. When I have time today, I am looking for the correct links and trying to determine who these links are for.
