Clan Descendants of Timothy Sullivan
The families of Sullivan and Burdick are connected
through the union of Richard Seth (Seth Orville) Burdick
and Alice Elizabeth Sullivan.
As is all the genealogy presented on this site, the
following is taken from the work of Chuckie Blaney, maternal grandmother of
Caitlin Blaney, daughter of Jonathan Burdick and Megan Blaney.
The death record of our ancestor Jeremiah Sullivan
(listed below) names his parents: Timothy and Bridget (Keleher) Sullivan (Note
1).
TIMOTHY SULLIVAN, born in Ireland ca.1810/11,
married in Ireland by 1836/7 BRIDGET KELEHER, also born in Ireland ca.1812/3.
They immigrated to Canada between 1847 and 1851 (Note 2).
The earliest record of our Sullivan family is at
Normanby Township, Grey County, Ontario, Canada in the1871 census, when Timothy
Sullavan, farmer, 60, born in Ireland, lived there with his wife Bridget, 58,
and children Ellen, 26; Timothy, 23; Bridget, 20; and John, 12. The parents and
two eldest children were born in Ireland; the youngest two in Canada; they were
Roman Catholic (Note 3). Cornelius Sullivan, 34, farmer, and his family were
enumerated directly below Timothy and Bridget Sullivan.
Normanby Township is situated in the southwest
corner of Grey County. The Saugeen River and its tributaries drained the area,
which comprised over 70,000 acres. The concessions on either side of the
Garafraxa road were laid out in 1841 with prospective settlers offered
fifty-acre grants of land. Much of the "Front" was taken up by Irish
and French homesteaders. The early French and Irish Catholics erected a log
church in the 1840's on Lot 13, Concession 1. Abundant waterways provided power
for mills, and at one time some sixteen sawmills operated within the township
in addition to as many number of grist mills. Dairy and farming are the area’s
mainstay (Note 4).
