Mrs. T. A. (Martha) Lynch, Reminiscences of Adams, Jay, & Randolph Counties, Indiana, (Lipes, Nelson, and Singmaster, Fort Wayne, Indiana: 1896), "Sketch of the Life of James Rooney," 199. "I was born March 4th, 1815, in Burkly [Berkeley] County, Virginia. Was married the Ith [sic] day of May, 1838, to Rebecca Murphy. Moved to Clinton County, Ohio, in the fall of 1838; lived there until 1860, when I moved to Jay County, Indiana, onto a farm in Jackson Township, on the 14th day of October, 1860. While On our way to Indiana my wife was taken sick and died and was buried at Xenia, Ohio. After she was buried I, with my six children, came on to the farm in Jay County, that I had already purchased in the summer of 1861. I built a cabin on my farm and moved into it, where I and my children lived till April 15, 1868, when I married to Elizabeth Sisk, who I lived with until December 13, 1893, when death again deprived me of my companion, since which time I have lived with my daughter. I lived at Polingtown during the time I lived with my second wife, nearly twenty-five years. When I moved onto my farm it was nearly all in woods. It is now all under cultivation except about six acres. In the year 1840 I joined the new Christian church in Clinton County, Ohio, of which I remained a member until I came to Indiana. In the fall of 1866 I united with the Christian church at West Liberty, where I still hold membership. JAMES ROONEY." NOTE: Berkeley County is now in West Virginia.
