I am looking for information on my 4th Great Grandparents: Stephen SULLIVAN and ??? SWEENEY b. ca. 1820s in County Cork, Ireland. I assume that they came to Medina, Orleans Co. in western NY state by way of Canada about the time of the potato famine. They had at least one daughter Margaret SULLIVAN, b 10 Mar 1841 in Co. Cork, Ireland and d. 16 Mar 1919 in Medina. She married Thurston LIVINGSTON, b. 24 Dec 1830 in Tipperary Co. Ireland. He d. 25 Mar 1917. He was the son of Thurston Livingston, b. 1791 in Ireland? The Livingston family may have come to Western NY state from Ireland before the potato famine, Thurston may have had an older brother, or uncle Robert LIVINGSTON who was in the Medina area as early as 1830s. Elizabeth LIVINGSTON, daughter of Thurston Livingston and Margaret Sullivan married Thomas STEEN (s. of Thomas STEEN and Mary SHEEHAN and grandson of Laurence STEEN and Ann MATTHEWS) of Ontario Co., NY and they lived in Ontario Co., they are my gg Grandparents. I have a information to share on later generations, but would like to learn more about the earlier generations. I assume that most of my Irish ancestors were Catholic, but I also wonder if some may have been Scotch Irish, like the LIVINGSTONs. Any information on these Irish Catholic ancestors would be greatly appreciated. Mike Burnett [email protected] Cave Creek, AZ, USA
