Elizabeth Looney
Elizabeth Looney was the wife of Robert Looney, the settler at Looney's Mill Creek on the upper James River in Virginia. DAR lineage forms and compiled Looney family accounts make her the mother of Absalom Looney. No record states that she was, and it is not known whether she was Robert's only wife.
She was in Philadelphia with Robert about 1734, when their son Peter was born there. By August 1747 she was old. The Augusta County court called her "Elizabeth, wife of Rob. Looney, aged and infirm," and named a commission to take her testimony. A commission let justices hear a witness at home when she could not come to court.
The French and Indian War came to the family in 1756. In February Robert's son Robert Jr. was killed by Indians. In June her son Peter, an ensign of rangers, was captured by Indians and French when their blockhouse was set on fire, and carried to Detroit. He escaped the next summer. When the Pennsylvania Gazette told his story in July 1757, it said he had gone "to Virginia, where his Parents live."
On 13 November 1762 she joined Robert in deeding 850 acres on the James River to John Bowyer.
Robert's will of 14 September 1769 named "Elizabeth Luney" his executrix with their son Joseph, and left her his estate for her life. Compiled Looney accounts give her maiden name as Llewellyn. No record gives it. She was living when the will was written; when she died is not recorded.
