Lurene The earliest born Florence Sullivan tied to my line is Florence J Sullivan b 1826 in Glengariff. He died 11/26/1883 in saratoga Springs NY. He was m to Margaret McNulty. He had 8 kids that I know of Julia, Ellen, Catherine, Michael, Daniel P, Peter Arthur, Florence J and Charles A. All kids to my knowledge born in NY. The Peter Arthur was the father of Edward Vincent Sullivan. Florence m Margaret in Saratoga on 11/6/1853. Julia appears to have been the oldest and b 1855. This makes this Florence and Margaret s children based on date of marriage unlikely to be parents of your Mary, who you have marrying in 1868...and probably at least b by 1850. However Florence could have had a prior wife??? You never know. this Florence owned a shoe shop in Saratoga Springs, and worked as a leather worker for the Erie Canal. Also since the names in the Sullivan families keep repeating, obviously may be another earlier Florence too...... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lurene Scott" <reney@san.rr.com> To: <beara@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2009 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [BEARA] Con or Florence Sullivan in Kealagowlane > John, I have a Florence Sullivan in my DONAHUE genealogy.
