Jeremiah Sullivan and Family in Lowell MA
Would like to fill in some missing pieces on my GGGgrandfather Jeremiah Sullivan from Lowell MA.Census records show his wife's name as Moriah (although the handwriting could have been Marion), with children Ellen and Michael.This family reportedly travelled from Lowell to Brown County OH in the 1840s when daughter Ellen was about 10, although no reason was ever given for the trip.They stayed there a while, but returned to Lowell.(Note:In checking census records of 1840 for Brown County OH and there was only one -- a Christian Sullivan, with a household of wife and young daughter.I have wondered whether this may have been a brother of Jeremiah, since the two first names are somewhat similar in type.)
Jeremiah's daughter Ellen Sullivan grew up and married Thomas Walsh, and they had several children, one of whom was also an Ellen (aka Nellie).This Nellie grew up and became the second wife of Robert J. Thomas in Lowell, and they had nine children (in addition to the four from his first marriage).
Would very much like to find information on Jeremiah and his family, including his parents and siblings and where in Ireland they came from.Have a photograph of Nellie and Robert Thomas which I'd be happy to share, as well as all information that I have gathered on them and their descendants.
Thanks.Feel free to email directly at [email protected]
