1699: Darby Done Good
Darby Sullivan, born in Dublin County, Ireland, stowed away on an English
ship to America to avoid arrest for stealing two loaves of bread from a
window sill. He married Elizabeth Snowdall, resided in Westmoreland Co.,
VA. and died in 1699. My roots have been traced by my father, J.P.
Sullivan. So, in his honor, here's our fraternal line: Darby Sullivan (
-1699) Westmoreland Co., VA Darby Owen Sullivan ( -1729) King George Co.,
VA Darby Sullivan (1722-1799)King George Co., VA Daniel Sullivan ( - )
King George Co., VA Thomas Sullivan (1786 - 1845) Stafford Co., VA Jonas
Sullivan (1821 - 1896) Stafford Co., VA Lorenzo Sullivan (1847 -
1929)Stafford Co., VA Lorenzo Sullivan, Jr. (1887-1982) Stafford Co., VA
Julian Sullivan, (1929 - ), Stafford Co. VA Jay Sullivan, (1956 - )
Stafford Co., VA
It has been told that the Sullivan line were definitely O'Sullilvan's and
after they migrated from Ireland, they dropped the "O". Exactally where
in Ireland is still a mystery. It is believed they migrated to Virginia
(Westmoreland County) approximately 1655 or 1665. Sometime during 1720,
they moved inland to King George County, VA., which later became Stafford
County, VA. around 1777.
