Hello Sarah,

Have you found where you fit in in the Book, EARLY LOONEYS IN AMERICA - by Leroy W. Tilton

I can't find your family in this book - please post the page number, on which your family is listed.

the Looney family in New Zealand are from Maughold Parish, I have searched back to 1647 in Maughold and there is no Robert Looney that went to America from Maughold Parish in the 1700s.
the Looney family from Maughold went to Australia and then came to New Zealand.
