After years of trying to connect our branch of the Looney family to the more established branches throughout the South (via other group lists).... I am once again asking for help from those who are familiar with the Madison Co., Ga. records. George Washington "G.W." Looney b. 23 March 1864 in Ga. to parents [unknown] who were also both apparently born in Ga. On 25 Feb. 1886, in Madison Co., Ga., "G.W." married Mary "Lee" [maiden name appears to be either Eaton or Slaton]. The marriage register is difficult to read. "G.W." apparently had a sister named Mary J. Looney who was married on 11 Nov 1886 in Madison Co., Ga. to Charlie L. Roach. [nothing further is known about Mary and Charlie]. "G.W." and "Lee" had several children while residing in Madison Co., Ga. 1. Henry b. 7 Apr 1887 2. Ella b. Apr 1889 3. Louis "Lonnie" Jefferson b. Oct 1893 4. Dolan Albert b. 19 Jul 1895 5. Floyd b. 28 Sep 1897 6. Alice "Allie" b. May 1899 Right after Allie's birth, the family moved to Lawrence Co., AL., where "Lee" died shortly after giving birth to their last child: Sallie b. Oct 1901. "G.W." later remarried and had several more children. He and his 2nd wife eventually moved to Jones Co., MS. where he died on 27 Mar 1947. If anyone can assist me in locating who the parents of our GEORGE WASHINGTON LOONEY and MARY J. (LOONEY) ROACH were... it would be greatly appreciated. I suspect that with that information... I'd be able to tie our family into the other Looney families and obtain an extensive ancestral record. Thanks in advance. John C. Sears JSears2111@aol.com
