Was that the last ever reunion?

Pam, did you see Larry Johnson's reply to Joseph "H"? Let me know what you think? Ginny

Larry, I have the marriage record of Joseph H. Looney & Elizabeth Lentz. David Reasons Looney, JP, my gg-grandfather married them. Do you have any idea what the "H" is for? Do you have any other information on Joseph "H" and Elizabeth? On the children? Evidently Joseph "H" & David Reasons were close & I would like to follow that thought in tracking David's migration from Louisiana to Texas. Am also trying to find the maiden name & dod for David's first wife Mary. Keep the information flowing.... Thanks a million. Ginny

Pam, yes I did get your note. I put your copy of the marriage record for Joseph H. in the snail-mail on Friday. You should have it today or tomorrow. I get sooooo excited when I find a new piece to the puzzle. Yes, it does seem that a can of worms has been opened with Joseph....but that is what keeps us going.... Hope to hear your thoughts on the continuing saga... Ginny

Ginny, Did you get my reply to this? I hope so!! Thanks again for offering to send this to me!! It appears that I have opened the can of "Joseph" worms again--lol and then the can of "William C. " worms. I really appreciate all the feed back---hopefully I can figure out just who the William C. belongs to, and or which one of the Joseph's William belongs too! (Once again I am sooo glad I choose Matthew and Adam for my sons names--not many of those in this Looney line) Am writing a short note today, will try to post again tomorrow when the arthritis is not sooo bad. Thank you Ginny and everyone who has responded to "Our Looney Line". Pam Looney

Steve - Sending this via the LB in case anyone is working on this bunch. Rufus Black Stubblefield married Caroline Ella Looney, Caroline was dau of Erasmus D. Looney and Francis Overton. Rufus was son of Abraham B. Stubblefield and Evaline Baker. Rufus and Caroline had only two children, but they died as infants. So no line continues here. There is a Rufus Cornelius Stubblefield, bn March 1883. He was son of William Tipton Stubblefield and Nancy Dalton. (remember the Daltons). William Tipton was son of Tipton Stubblefield and Sarah Garrett. __ _ _ _ _ Manuel Dodson (M. D.) Looney married Meda Ann Trimble. Meda was dau of George Washington Trimble and Mary Blundell. Manuel was son of James Isham Looney and Martha A. Byrd. James Isham was son of William Stubblefield Looney and Cloah Davis. William S. was son of Joseph Looney and Theney Stubblefield. (notice all this Looney-Stubb inter-marriage). Joseph was son of Jonathan Looney and Jane Harbison. Jonathan was son of Absalom(2). This connection to Jonathan is nebulous as records are scarce on this Jonathan and children. Any help appreciated! Good hunting!

Joseph H Looney was the son of Catherine __?__ Looney who died in Lauderdale Co, Ala. and left a will which mentions her children. We do not know exactly who her husband was, but evidence points to it being one of the sons of Capt. John Looney of the Robert Looney Jr. line. The guess is that it was Joseph, the oldest son, but we cannot rule out Martin Looney another son. They were cousins, not necessarily first cousins. Any speculation on how David Reasons Looney ended up in Lauderdale County, Ala.?

William Harrison Looney named his youngest sister Nancy (Looney) Whitehead in his will. Nancy was married to Thobias Whitehead 28 July 1828 in Lauderdale County, Ala. William also names brothers, Joseph, William and George in his will. He also named two of his nephews William C. and James M. Looney. Did he mention William and James because their father Joseph was deceased? Can you tell me what happened to Joseph H. Looney who was born in 1813? Did he die about 1848 after the birth of Mary P. Looney b. 1847? Or is he the same Joseph Looney that married Nancy E. White? If this is the same Joseph, did he name sons by his two wives both William Carroll Looney? One born 1836 and the other born 1853?

Bob C. What I was honestly looking for was: Who is the Joseph "H" LOONEY that was married to Elizabeth Lentz by my gg-grandaddy, David Reasons LOONEY, Justice of the Peace in Lauderdale Co. AL on 23 July 1837 I felt sure that Joseph was a cousin of David.....but wanted to know whose son he was? Never have found out, Can you help?

John I think Ginney might have confused Joseph with George. I believe there is a Joseph H. in the line.

Howdy Pat I have some stuff that I think you might be interested in. Let me go through it and maybe I can send you copies. Most will revolve around Martin Harrison. I will get back with you.

I have a copy of the will of William H. Looney--Benton Co. Ark. signed 18 March 1861 In the will he deeds his land to his 2 nephews William C. and James M. I have William H. with brothers George and Joseph. He also leaves cash amounts to his "beloved" brother Joseph and, even though he doesn't mention George is a brother , he also leaves money to him. He leaves an amount to Martin Sr. and Nancy Whitehead. I have a Joseph (possibly beloved brother?) married to Nancy White (possibly Whitehead) with two sons James and William and 4 other children. Does anyone know if this could be right? [email protected]

Kay, We have a small group of 14 "Sampson Seekers" including a few Joseph descendants and we will be glad to make you number 15. In 1870, your Joseph was living in Polk County, Mo. near the group of Looneys that came to Greene, Polk and Dade counties from Alabama in the 1830's. Then he moved to Oregon about the same time some of the other families relocated. One would nearly think they were related. We have not found the origin of Sampson yet but we are picking up some of his descendants. Will send you some stuff. bill

My husband's gggrandfather is also a Josep LOONEY b. ca 1833 in Missouri. He does not seem to fit in with anything I have seen so far on this list. His father's name is supposed to be Sampson Looney. His mother Sarah (Brown) Hunt. Joseph was married to Emaline Haywood also born ca 1833 in Missouri. They had 9 children: Gannie, Sarah, Lafate, John, Elizabeth, Joseph A., Henry J., Mary, Belle. On the marriage license for daughter Sarah she used the surname Liexeny. This is the only reference I have seen to this spelling. Has anyone else come across this surname? Is anyone else researching this family? Do these people fit in anywhere with the families I see on this list? Any help or suggestions would be great. thank you Kay

Thanks, I'll try that. Bettye

My data agrees with almost all you have here. The exceptions are: Martin Harrison Looney b. 25 Nov 1851 Muscle Shoals, Ala, d. 1927 Lowell Ark - I only show one marriage to Amanda Lavis Thornsberry and they had eight children. I don't show a Sarah, but do show a Sally b. ? who married __?__ Harris and had children Anna, Bob and Otto Harris. George Martin Looney's father may have been Joseph Looney, son of Capt. John and Elizabeth (Renfro) Looney, but he would have had to have been born mush earlier than 1812-18 since George Martin was born 16 Nov. 1805. George Martin Looney had a brother Joseph H. Looney b. 1813. This brother married Elizabeth Lentz and had three children, William Carroll Looney b. 1836, Rebecca b. 1837 and Mary P. b. 1847. I have record of a Nancy E. White married to Joseph Price Looney (father undetermined) b. 1825 in Ala. d. ~1857 Benton Co., Ark. This Joseph and Nancy had children: Sarah Catherine b. 1843, Margaret b. 1848, Lucinda b. 1850, William Carroll b. 1853 and James Henry Looney b. 1857. The name "Price" jumps out at me again due to Catherine __?__ Looney of Lauderdale Co, Ala. having Joseph Price named as the executor of her will. I do show a daughter to Joseph Price Looney and Nancy E. White as Margaret Looney b. Apr 1848 in Ark. married to Alexander Ford. All of my data comes from the files of Elizabeth Looney, Washington, D.C. and was likely furnished by your relations. Putting this family together has been confusing due to conflicting information furnished by different family members.

Are we getting our Joseph H. Looney and George Looney mixed up? I don't show a George H. Looney in my data. Catherine _?__ and _?__ Looney did have a son George Martin Looney. Catherine __?__ Looney had the following children: Martin b. 1800, Mary "Polly" b. 1803, George Martin b. 1805, William Harrison b. 1808, Stephen b. 1809, Joseph H. b. 1813 and Nancy b. 1815. I do not show William Harrison or Stephen as being married or having family. The others do show spouses.
