According to the same newspaper abstract book, 3 of Michael Sullivan's sons died, along with his wife, Hannah Brown, within days of each other. The notice of Hannah's death states that she and 3 of her sons have died and that her husband and daughter are "yet confined to bed by a serious illness". Sounds like cholera or something similar. We know that sons William and Henry both died, William in October 1840 and Henry in November 1840 and that their mother also died in November. We do not know who the third son was. The abstract book says it was David, but we know that is not correct.
