The older Cornelius Sullivan in the Peter Robinson Emigration is my 3g gf.  It can get confusing because there were about 7 Sullivan families in the Emigration, and they were chosen not to be related to each other!  The family was from Listowel, Kerry, in 1825, though my gg gm Mary Sullivan, his dau, seems to have been born in Dingle town.

Online trees seem to differ as to whether Cornelius Sullivan's wife was a Costello or a Murphy ...

I have two connections with this family.  The direct connection:

Mary Sullivan + William Scollard

John Scollard + Catherine O'Connor

Mary Loretta Scollard + Paul Joseph Moloney ...

and the avuncular connection:

Patrick Cornelius Sullivan (Mary's brother) + Mary Moloney (Paul Joseph's aunt)
