About Patrick Sullivan and Rose Leddy

About Patrick Sullivan and Rose Corcoran

Not much is known about Patrick Sullivan except that he lived in Dennbane/Denbawn, Denn Parish, County Cavan, Ireland. Records have been located which express the Sullivan last name with the Soraghan/Soroghan/Sorohan spelling. His wife, Rose (c1804-1874), is identified in various documents as having the maiden name of Leddy, McCabe and/or Corcoran. However, it is believed her maiden name was Corcoran. She also is from Ireland, most likely Drumbarry, Co. Cavan. They had at least 11 children, many which immigrated to the US. The children include: Mary (died before 1915 probably in Ireland); Rose Sullivan (died before 1915 probably in Ireland); Michael (c1829-1915); Ellen (c1830-1900); Thomas (c1831-a1901&b1911 in Ireland); James (c1931-1898); Patrick (c1831-1881); Andrew (c1833-1881); Peter F. (c1838-1896); Philip J. (1840-1915) [See also the Sullivan/Connor Genelaogy Blog]; and Matthew (1841-a1916). It is believed that neither Patrick nor Rose immigrated but lived and died in Ireland.

Patrick Soraghan (Sullivan) Farm, Dennbane, Co. Cavan

Patrick Soraghan (Sullivan) occupied farmland in Dennbane, Civil Parish of Denn, Co. Sligo as noted in the mid-1850s in Griffith's Valuation.

In July 2011 I was able to visit the land and take videos.  The first video is looking from the furtherest point back to where a new home has been built.  The home is now occupied by the Bradys.  The second video is taken looking the opposite way, starting at the "head" of the property viewing the new house and then down to where the road turns and the property ends.
