Rooney in records is the 1840 census in Erie, Pennsylvania, when he was already married. There are no Rooneys/Roneys listed in Erie County in 1820 or 1830, but going back to 1810, there are TWO listings, both the appropriate age to be his father: Robert Roney and James Roney, both in the 26-44 age category. I have gotten given two different fathers and birth dates for this Robert Rooney from Rooney ancestor-relatives: Sept. 2, 1810 and Sept. 12, 1811. Both are possible. The censuses are not consistent: 1850 shows 1811, 1860 shows 1810, and 1865 in Kansas shows 1812. However, the Mortality Schedule of the 1870 census lists his death in 1869 at age 59, which is information that would have been obtained directly from his family; IF this is accurate it is verification of 1810. Since there is varying information, and no documents with certain links, I have not linked possible parents (whose burial place is unknown). These links lead to ONE of the sets of possible parents: James Roney and Peggy Smith Robert was, of course, a farmer. There were 10 children in the family, although several died before Robert. Several others did not have surviving children, so there are not many descendants. In his will, Robert left his land to be divided between his surviving sons after his wife's death. He left his cows to his daughters, but his wife was to retain their use for as long as she needed them. (She probably outlived the cows . . . . ) The cemetery where Robert and Marietta are buried was originally known as the Cayot Cemetery, named for the family who owned the land where it was founded. Robert and Marietta were neighbors of the Cayots and one of their daughters, Libbie, married into the family.
