Looney married Alexander Caldwell in 1778 in Craig's Creek, Botetourt County, Virginia. The Looney mill archeological site is a National Historic Landmark.
The Looney family was very colorful. At least one wife sued her husband, unheard of in pre-twentieth century America. Children sued their father. People came and went. I've included a lot of these stories in the genealogy pages for this family.
