      I came across some material in a genealogical quarterly put out in Pontotoc County, OK. I am not related to this family but I try to post things I find that might help others. I found a scant amount of material on Jacob Muni(Mony), Sr., b. before 1714, Ireland; came to America via Holland, settled in PA 1750; I think this is what is said. He died ca 1790 in Lincoln County, NC; wife unknown, did not immigrate; second wife also unknown.

      He had a son named Jacob Mooney, Jr. (Muni); b. before 1734, Rotterdam/ Cowes Holland or Ireland; d. ca 1813-1814, Lincoln County, NC. He had a son named James Mooney, Sr, b. 1775, Tryon, NC; m. ca 1796; d. before 1840, Warren County, TN; married Nancy Eaker(s)??, whose faather was Peter (E)Aker??; James had a son named Edward, b. 1806-05, Rutherford County, NC; m. ca 1827 MO/AR; d. May 1850, Hunt County, TX.

      Hope this helps someone. There is a little more but it's confusing - mostly about wives. Carletta

    • I just discovered your posting and would love to pursue with you at some length some things about our Mooney ancestors.

      First, our connection is that your Jacob Parnell Mooney was brother to my great grandfather Jesse Mooney. Their parents were James Mooney and Henrietta Webb. James was the youngest son of either Jacob Mooney, Sr., or Jacob Mooney, Jr.

      Secondly, the main thing I want to discuss with you is where the two Jacob's came from, and who they came with. I believe both Jacobs came into Philadelphia on the ship Phoenix on August 28, 1750, out of Rotterdam and Cowes. They were listed on the passenger manifest as "Jacob Muni, Sr." and "Jacob Muni, Jr." and there were also a "Christian Muni," "Conrad Muni," and "Andreas Muni."

      Can you tell me more about this "South Shore" where Jacob may have come from, and who are the "five brothers"? Where did you get this information and what proof do you have? What county in Ireland is or was "South Shore" located.

      I have been to Ireland twice trying to find out where Jacob Mooney came from and need to know a county of origin before I stand any chance of finding him.

      Please email me direct at EugeneMooney@mooney3.com.

      Thanks,

      Eugene F. Mooney [2]
