LOONEY of Craig County, Virginia

My husband is descended from Robert CALDWELL, b. 1788, TN, probably Knox Co. as that is where he md. Sarah RHODES in 1810.Their first born, a son, was named Absalom L. CALDWELL and was known in his adult life as "Loon."When we began reading about Absalom LOONEY in the history books of SW VA, I began digging deeper to see if Absalom LOONEY and a CALDWELL family were in the same place at the same time, and the Craig's Creek area of VA turned out to be the place.
Two of Absalom LOONEY's daughters, Margaret and Priscilla, married CALDWELL men, Alexander and William, possibly the sons of William CALDWELL of Craig's Creek.Alexander and Margaret, md. in 1778, went to Knox Co., TN, where I've since learned they died.We've ordered Alexander's probate record from Knox Co., TN, and hopefully it will tell the tale when it arrives in a few more days.
