Jon, This is probably not a match (maybe Liz in Colchester will reply as well), but for what it's worth, here's my family: I have a Michael Sullivan and Margaret (maiden name unknown) from Cahersiveen. I think Michael may have died, but Margaret was born about 1778, and came over to the US, to Newport, RI. Children of Michael and Margaret Sullivan in Newport were (all were born in Cahersiveen, and all came to the US with their spouses. They all died in Newport): John R. Sullivan, born 1813, died 1854, wife Mary. They had a daughter Joanna. Daniel Sullivan, born Abt. 1815, died May 26, 1881, wife Bridget. They had a son, John B. Sullivan and a daughter Abby Sullivan. Abby, born 1817, died August 18, 1900, married to a Shea. They had two sons, Michael F. Shea and Patrick Michael Shea. Timothy C. Sullivan, born 1821-1823, died March 09, 1896, wife Hannah Curran. She was born abt. 1823 in Drommond, County Kerry, Ireland and died August 17, 1895. They had two daughters, Johanna Sullivan and Margaret Sullivan. This data is culled from Newport Courthouse records, Newport census records, one ship list, St. Mary Cemetery in Newport gravestones, and a distant cousin named Shea. What sparked my interest of course is that we both have a Sullivan from Cahersiveen married to a Curran. -Pat. Wary
