So, I am doing a little family tree project for her Thanksgiving "homework". I ran across both of your names and email addresses at Larry and Liz Johnson's website. So, I thought that I would identify myself as a Looney descendant. First, here is a little about myself. My name is Tim Turner. I am 43 years old. I live in Poulsbo, Washington, which is just west of Seattle. My wife's name is Michelle. We have three children: Madeline (5), Ross (3) and Megan (1). And...I am a 9th generation descendant of John and Llewellen Looney! It will probably be a big clue to tell you that I was born and raised in Lewisburg, Tennessee. (Marshall County) Here is the lineage: 1) Robert - came to America (settled in Virginia) 2) Peter - first born in America (Philadelphia), captured by Indians 3) Peter - dad died when infant, signed Cumberland Compact, eventually moved to what became Marshall County in 1836 4) Peter - born in pre-Tennessee in 1788 5) Peter - born in 1828, called "Whistling Pete" 6) Willis Lively Luna - born in 1856, more on my great-grandfather below 7) Flossie Claire (Luna) Holly - born in 1894, more on my grandmother below 8) Ada Lurline (Holly) Turner - born in 1920, still living in Lewisburg 9) Timothy Alan Turner - born in 1961, and that's me!! Willis Lively Luna, my great-grandfather has an interesting story. Here is the sketchy version that I just learned a few minutes ago. I am sure that more details could be produced. Apparently, Willis' first wife, Elizabeth Madden, had a boy friend that shot Willis in the wrist. At the time Willis and Elizabeth had an 8 year old boy, Willis Andrew. I believe the family was living in Texas at the time. (Note that his brother Manly also settled out there.) Well, after this incident Willis moved back to Tennessee, where he eventually married Ada Geneva Gant and had 9 children. Flossie Claire Luna married Thomas Cleophas Holly. "Mama Holly" was the only grandparent alive when I was born. Her husband died 3 months before my birth. Mama Holly died when I was 13 years old. I mentioned Manly Luna (another son of "Whistling Pete") above. Mom told me that she has remained in contact with Thelma Luna, who married Manly's son Hal. She remains alive today at the age of 103. I remember visiting her in Greenville, Texas back in the 1970s. Well, I am enjoying perusing all of the information that others have worked so hard to preserve. Maddie's little project will involve dressing up a paper doll in cloths from the ancestor's homeland. I will probably do something from the Isle of Man. Sign me up for the Looney email distribution list. Have a great day! Tim Turner --part1_2b.6573295d.2ebd9940_boundary--
