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.

Fr. Patsy Sullivan, Golden Jubilee Mass


Fr. Patsy Sullivan, 1933-2013, is:
  • the son of James Sullivan (c1873-1969) and Katie Donohue (?-1960)
  • the grandson of Michael Sullivan (c1836-1909) and Mary Smith (c1856-?)
  • possible great grandson of Andrew Sorohan/Sullivan (c1801 - ?), wife unknown
  • I believe Andrew is the brother of Patrick Sorahan/Sullivan (c1794-a1874), my great, great grandfather.
  • If the above is true, then Fr. Patsy/Patrick Sullivan is my 3rd cousin, once removed.






On the celebration of Fr. Patrick's Golden Jubilee, Bishop Leo O'Reilly gave this homily at his Golden Jubilee Mass.
