On September 27, 1767 John Looney purchased of his older brother Adam Looney the 271 acres known as the Meadow Run or Bryan's Creek tract which Adam had bought from Colonel James Patton in 1752. On March 4, 1768 John Looney had 250 acres surveyed on Looney's Mill Creek along his own patent line; also 196 acres adjoining John Mill's land. (Rockingham County Surveys 1, page 137) The 250 acres were purchased from his nephew Peter Looney, but the deed was not made or recorded until January 12, 1796. (Botetourt Deeds book 5, page 347)
