From the information that I have been given Looney's Mill was a grain mill. I heard some speculation that Robert may have left Ireland because of the political/religious environment in Ireland at the time and a ship to Pennsylvania Colony was the first ship he could book passage on for himself and his family. This would explain the lack of connection to the Quakers as well as his presence in Pennsylvania Colony. What do you think? Wouldn't he have needed to be well-off financially to book passage for his entire family on a ship headed to the Colonies? He would have needed passage for himself, his wife and three children (two if Daniel was born onboard the ship). I can't imagine that the passage was cheap unless he worked his way across. His children would have been too small to work their way across on the ship. However, the ages for Robert's children is just supposition based on the unproven date of Robert and Elizabeth's marriage.
