| Note | Joseph served in the Civil War and fought for the Union. He was a Private in Co I, 2nd Infantry Regiment 2nd Tennessee Volunteers. Most of Co I enrolled at Sale Creek, Hamilton Co, TN and mustered in at Cumberland Ford, KY 28 Feb 1862. Muster out date not known. Muster rolls of the regiment are defective, a large portion of them were captured along with the Regiment at Rogersville on 6 Nov 1863. In his declaration for pension, made July 12, 1893, Joseph stated he was hurt by a wagon turning over while on a retreat from Cumberland Cap to the Ohio River when in service. Physical description was given as 5' 11" with light complexion, light hair and blue eyes. Almeda filed for and received a pension for Joseph's Civil War wervice. On pension application it shows his mustering out date as 31 Oct 1864. Age 20 (which would make his birth date 1844) and other personal description not of record. A very interesting medical record show him treated July 25 to Aug 31, 1864 for traumatic stricture of the uretha. Says when a boy was crushed about his privates in fall between two millstones. Surgery was performed including a circumsion and removal of a tumor. According to Dessie Looney Perkins, her grandfather, Joseph Looney, left home at age 14. None of the children or grandchildren knew anything about the Looney family. Records cannot be found for marriage of Almeda Penney and Joseph Looney. Among Almeda's pension application is an attest from County Clerk of Hamilton Co, TN. It states that all records prior to 1864 were destroyed during the late war. |
