My Looney grandparents, PHOTO ALBUM ,

Here is a picture of my GG-Grandfather, Moses Looney SR.
born Aug 6, 1780 Tennessee, died Jan 9, 1855 Lawrence Co, Alabama.


For those of you that have heard the Winston County, Ala. story of:
"Incident at Looney's Tavern",
The Tavern keeper known as
William B. Looney
(or more commonly known as "Ole Bill" or "Black Fox")
was one of Moses sons.


My Looney relations center around the town of
ROSEBUD, TEXAS.

Looney Family Discussion Group Projects

This chart outlines the first three generation of:
ROBERT and ELIZABETH LOONEY in America, circa 1742,

Another Project of the Looney Family Discussion Group is the posting of
Leroy W. Tilton's Manuscripts. (Eight Parts)

The Tilton Manuscripts provide details concerning the history and descendants of Robert and Elizabeth Looney, of Augusta County, Virginia. These manuscripts were created in 1963 based on 50 years of work by Mr. Tilton and many others who collectively gathered, coordinated and composed these Manuscripts for the benefit of future Looney and Related Family Researchers.

These links identify members of the Looney Discussion Group who are still SEARCHING LOONEY ANCESTORS.

Anyone interested in joining the "LOONEY Family E-Mail Discussion Group",
send
Pat Davis or Ed Looney a E-Mail request and they will sign you up.
