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)

Their fathers name was also Florence and he came to this country and set up a shoe-making shop in Saratoga.  The Sweeneys had a ... picture of him which I tried to get without success.(Margaret Harrington, Oct 12 1956)
