This will be the Robert Looney who to quote the following website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~hcpd/norman/LOONEY.htm

"Traditional family states that Robert Looney was born on the Isle of Man in the English Channel in the late 1600's."

However better info is probably:

Little did Robert Looney, a Manx farmer from Ballagilley, Maughold realize that when he arrived in the New World about 1731, that he and his decendants would be recorded in the annals of their new land as frontiersmen and patriots. Records show that by 1734, Robert Looney and his wife, Elizabeth Llwellyn, and at least seven sons (they were to have 14 sons!) were in Philadelphia where they joined an expedition into the colony of Virginia.

So is that Ballagilley above The Hibernian?
