FLORENCE SULLIVAN 1826 – 12/ 1/1882

 

"You will further observe that Grandfather Sullivan, Florence that is, set up a shoe making shop in your Grandmother Mary Sweeney's place.  This shoe-making bears out what I told you countless years ago, that he had knowledge of leather-working that was useful during the building of the Erie Canal in sofar as the horses were concerned."  (Helen Sullivan Culyer to Judge Sweeney; May 29, 1979)
