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.

Michael Sullivan, Proof of Heirship, 1915

On February 26, 1915, Michael Sullivan's brother, Philip J. Sullivan, age 76, gave testimony in the Probate Court of Cook County before Judge Henry Horner in the matter of Proof of Heirship.  Philip gave a 15 page statement, outlining all the next-of-kin of Michael.

In the document, Philip names their father Patrick Sullivan stating that he predeceased Michael and that he married only once to Rose who also predeceased Michael and she also was only married once.  The maiden name of his mother Rose is not stated.

The details of the testimony provided by Philip are listed in the two postings: Heirship Report and the Certificate of Mailing Petition.
