Sullivan; b: 1879 (daughter of William Sullivan & Sarah Roach). Mary was born in Tahlequah, OK. And is on the Cherokee Dawes roll with her children. It is told by the family; that at a picnic on the Illinios River the parents saw their daughter drowning and went in to help. Both Cade & Mary Jones drown, along with the daughter. It is said the family near Tahlequah still talk about it. Anyone having info on the JONES or SULLIVAN family in this story, please contact me. -- Michelle Tucker ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OKGenWeb County Coordinator: Cherokee Co.: http://www.rootsweb.com/~okchero2/index.htm OKGenWeb Archives: Adair Co.: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/adair/adair.html Sequoyah Co.: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ok/sequoyah/sequoyah.html Michelle's Home Page: http://members.home.net/famhist/shell.htm Countiss Connections: http://members.home.net/famhist/countiss.htm
