James Nooney, b ca 1720 Cork/Dublin
I'm still searching for the parents of James Nooney, b ca 1720 in Ireland who went to America ca 1750's or earlier to teach school.He is supposed to have settled in Roxbury, Mass. for a time.He married Martha (Margaret) Nason, daughter of Robert Nason & Rebecca Day, 20 Sept 1747, at Providence, Rhode Island. They are found in the town records of Enfield, Conn. in 1754 and they had several children there.They later moved to the Chester, Mass area.There are several Nooney families living in County Westmeath, 1 in County Kildare and 1 in County Meath on Census between 1848 and 1864.If anyone is searching for Nooney ancestors in these counties and has info about a James Nooney, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
