One Sullivan FamilyThis family record is not complete. If you have further information or corrections, please email! I am not connected to this family, just found online sources with information. - Lisa K. Slaski Peter Sullivan was born about 1810 in Ireland and died on 1 Jan 1885 in Malone, NY. He was married to Ann in Ireland. Ann was born about 1810 and died sometime before 14 Dec 1891. They brought their children to the U.S. about 1858 and settled by 1860 in Malone, Franklin County, NY, where they are then found in census records. They had the following children:
It may be that this family is the same as that of Ann (34?), Alise (15), Hugh (10), Owen (?), Anne (5), and Biddy (4 months) that landed at NYC on 10 Aug 1854 on the ship Sardinia (obviously, Peter would have come separately, if this is Ann and the children). Obviously, there is some inconsistency in the names and ages, and thus, I'm not positive that this is them, but it is a possibility. Of their children: it appears that Catherine remained unmarried as she shows up as Catherine Sullivan on mortgages with her mother, and brother, Owen, after the death of her father (through 1892). She is also named as the only suriving heir, along with her brother, on probate records on 14 Dec 1891; and she is found, unmarried, on the 1900 census living with her brother Owen. Peter's son, Hugh, died in Sacramento, California in 1885, also unmarried. Another daughter, who married James Campbell, also likely died in 1885. Their son, Owen, was married and had quite a few children whom he raised in Malone. The records which I found (all online sources): 1860 Federal Census, town of Malone, Franklin County, NY, enumerated 14 Jun 1860, by Francis Barry, P.O. Malone, NY, page 9
1870 Federal Census, town of Malone, Franklin County, NY, enumerated 11 Jun 1870, by Paschal P. Paddock, P.O. Malone, NY, page 4
Also Kate Sullivan, aged 25, born in Ireland, is listed as a Domestic Servant in the household of Elias Dewey in Malone and, Bridget Sullivan, aged 16, born in Ireland is listed as a Domestic Servant in the household of Wesley Johnson in Malone. I have not found Hugh in this census record. 1875 New York State Census, town of Malone, Franklin County, NY, enumerated 18 Jun 1870, by Francis Barry, P.O. Malone, NY, page 30
1880 Federal Census, town of Malone, Franklin County, NY, enumerated 19 Jun 1870, by Lewie L. Sayles, P.O. Malone, NY, page 25
Also Hugh Sullivan, aged 34, born in NY (parents born in Ireland) is listed as a laborer in Brighton, Sacramento County, CA. Also, Bridget, aged 24, and Katherine Sullivan, aged 30, both single, are listed as working in a Woolen factory and residing in the household of Manly Black in Malone, NY. From probate records: on 1 Jan 1885, Peter Sullivan died. It appears that one of their daughters died early in 1885: Franklin Gazette., May 22, 1885, Page 3 South Malone, May 20, 1885
This is likely the mother of George Campbell who appears in the 1880 census with Peter. As Catherine is alive at the time of the execution of her father's probate in 1891, and Ann is living with Peter, it is likely that it is Bridget who married James Campbell, but there is a small chance that it was either Catherine or Ann who did so. Their son, Hugh, died in Sacramento, California on 31 Oct 1885 and is buried in the Sacramento City cemetery. He is first found on voter lists in 1880 in Sacramento and gave proof of his father's citizenship in order to gain voting rights. These voter lists provide an approximate birth year (by his age) of 1844-1845. Franklin Gazette, 13 Nov 1885 The following letter received by the poastmaster at this place explains itself. Sacramento, Cal. Nov. 2, 1885

1900 Federal Census, Malone Township, Franklin County, NY
One more child appears to have been born to Owen, a son, George, about 1902, first showing up in the 1905 NYS census. There is an obituary for him in 1918, as well. In the same 1905 census, Owen's sister, Catherine, is not found and no further records are found online for her. Tupper Lake Herald and Adirondack Mountain Press, Tupper Lake, NY, Thursday, 31 Oct 1929 Owen Sullivan, 85, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John McCarthy, south of St. Regis Falls, Saturday, October 19th, having been ill with pneumonia for two weeks. The funeral was held the following Monday morning at St. Mary's Church, burial in St. Joseph's cemetery, Malone. Mr. Sullivan was born in Ireland and came to this country when a small boy with his parents, the late Peter and Mary Sullivan. His wife died a number of years ago. He was a farmer by occupation and conducted a farm south of Malone until ten years ago when on account of age and feeble health he retired and came here to live with his daughter. Seven other children survive among whom is James Sullivan, manager of the Altamont hotel at Tupper Lake, who attended the funeral of his father. There is much more information available on Owen and his family, owing to the fact that the newspapers of his time and that of his children's times printed more obituaries, marriage announcements, etc., about family in the area than they did prior to the early 1900s. |
