Notes - In 1766, David and his wife Mary sold their home in Virginia near the older LOONEY parents on Looney's Mill Creek, near the James River, and by 1770 they had moved into the Holston on lands along the Indian frontier. By 1774 the family had settled into a cabin on Muddy Creek, two miles north of the Holston River, in what was then Washington County, VA, but which became Sullivan County, NC, and eventually Tennessee. David remained active in the militia, but took on an active leadership in the growth and development of Sullivan County, NC.
David LOONEY was one of the first justices and major of the militia of the new country. He was advanced to the lieutenant-colonel, which office he resigned in 1781. He was a member of the lower house of the Carolina Assembly of 1784. He was one of the first justices of the peace under the new State government. He was a delegate from Sullivan County to the convention of 1788 which was called to consider the ratification of the National Constitution. He was in 1790 commissioned by Governor BLOUNT a justice of the peace in his county, under the territorial form of government. In the first legislature of the State of Tennessee he represented Sullivan County. [2]
