Elder Mooney is mentioned by all the early historians as one of the leader's among the pioneer ministry of Middle Tennessee. Where he came from, we have no means of knowing. He was here perhaps as early as 1790. He assisted in the establishment of the early churches in Robertson County and West Station Camp, in Sumner County. These were all constituted prior to 1796, when they were formed into Mero District Association. He easily ranked among the leaders in the denomination at that early day. He assisted in the constitution of Mt. Olivet Church, at Leeville, Wilson County, Tennessee, in April 1801. He was invited to assist in the constitution of Round Lick Church in 1803. He assisted in the constitution of Hopewell Church, in Sumner County, near Castalian Springs, in 1806. Here we must bid this brother good-bye, until we meet him in the sweet by and by. Everything indicates that he lived in Sumner County.
