Hi I am researching the Looney families that were in Ga. by 1807/1808. I have a lot of Census data and have read the Tilton works several times. I just seem to get more and more confused. Guess I'm having several senior moments in a row :) My gg grandmother was Lydia )Liddy) Looney b. 1808 GA. she was in Maury Co., Tn. by Jan 1829 when she md. my gg grandfather Levi London. They were in the Marchall Co., Tn. 1840 census, the from 1850 on in the Maury Co. Tn Dict 7 census. Two of their sons fought in the civil war. My g grandfather Christopher Columbus London said on his civil war 1906 pension appl. & his 1922 questionnaire that his mother's father was from close to Suahanah Ga. In the 1820 Franklin Co., Ga records the only two Looney's I've found are Adam and Peter. Adam was living there and Peter owned land there, but Adam pd. the taxes on the land. where was Peter, and which Peter was this?? I know the Adam was the son of Robert 3; Adam 2; Robert 1. In the 1830 Census I found a name I've never heard of before. Dominick Looney 60/70 yrs old b. bet 1760/70 Chatham Suvannah Ga. Do you have any idea who he is? There was also Felix Loony 40/50 yrs old b. 1780/90 Do you know who he is? Franklin Co., Ga. Thomas F.(Farrar?) Looney 30/40 b. 1790-1800 Noah Looney Joseph Looney b. 1800-1810 I think this is the Joseph C. Looney in the 1850 census b. 1807 Ga. md Permelia Wright, children Martha, Mary, Benjamin, Adaline, Willie,Jephah, Harriet, all b. Ga. I know that all these people came from the origional Robert Looney Family from the Tilton works, except he does not show the Dominic Looney. I hope you don't mind me sending you all this, I just can't put it all together. Some of it seems to be different from other things I've read. I have a lot more and am currently trying to just put the data together in some kind of order, starting with the SC Looneys, which are some of the ones that came to Ga. very early, along with thoughts I have about the facts. I'm hoping that some of the above rings some bells with you, since you seem to be so knowledgable about the Looney families. Hope to hear from you soon. Later bemery@bellsouth.net
