Dear Ronald, I have a deed of which I have absracted here for brevity which mentions a couple of the Looney clan. The deed occured in Sumner County, Tennessee and the info is as follows: Deed, 4 Feb 1813, PETER LOONEY to ROBERT BROWN, for $182.50, a tract on Caney Fork of Drakes Creek, being 182 1/2 Acres. Wit: JOHN MOODY J. D. LOONEY Do you supose these two men Peter Looney and J. D. Looney could be ofspring of Robert Looney's clan? I don't have any other information on them. Do you have information on Looney's that migrated to Sumner County, Tennessee?
