James Sullivan was the son of John Sullivan of Twitty’s Creek in Lunenburg County who’s Last Will and Testament was proved in 1750, naming James as his eldest son. Only four years earlier John Sullivan had moved into Lunenburg/Brunswick from Caroline County, VA.

James Sullivan, son of John, married Sarah Perrin, daughter of Joseph Perrin of Charlotte County. No marriage record has been found. Sarah is named in the will of her father, probated in Charlotte County in 1773, in which she is called “my dear daughter Sarah Sullivant.”

When James Sullivan arrived in South Carolina, he joined some of his cousins from Charlotte County, principally the offspring of his uncle, Owen Sullivan. Owen’s daughter Madeline (“Maudlin”) may be the first of the Owen Sullivan line to move from Virginia to South Carolina. She was married Samuel Wharton in Charleston, SC, in 1771, according to Wharton family history.

Since the publication of William Dunklin Sullivan’s family history in 1913, others of this line have written about their family history. Because all of them repeated this first work, everyone perpetuated the mistaken thought that James Sullivan Senior was a son of Owen Sullivan. Because each succeeding writer has continued (and many researchers still continue) the same mistakes, without real research, it is important to straighten them out now, in the interest of true genealogy.

The most popular of the published works is South Carolinians in the Revolution, first printed in 1949, by Sara (Sullivan) Ervin of Laurens Co., SC, who became a paid genealogist. In her book, names of two wives appear for the senior James Sullivan, who is erroneously identified as a son of “Owen Sullivan II”: first wife “Meta Bolling” and second wife “Sara Harrison Choice”. No documentary evidence is offered. The Ervin book has been printed four times and is to be found in the South Carolina section of many genealogical collections. (The VA Genealogist had a brief, apt review of the 1971 edition of this book.) Numerous Sullivan descendants have credited Ervin as their source for Sullivan genealogy, undeterred by the absence of proof of sources. Other researchers have tried to find facts to substantiate Ervin’s statements, without success. The persistent investigator goes on to discover that Ervin apparently based her James Sullivan data on what she designated as the “Bible Record of James Sullivan, Sr.”

Most likely we shall never learn who penned this array of statements in the so-called “Bible Record”. We can only wonder why its creators wrote that James Sullivan was a son of “Owen Sullivan 2n of that name in America” who died on 6 Jan 1790. It might be claimed that records exist somewhere in Virginia or South Carolina or elsewhere which show that a man named Owen Sullivan did die on that date; but those of us who are searching diligently cannot find them. The “Bible Record” claims that this Owen Sullivan was the father also of Charles Sullivan, Owen Sullivan, Pleasant Sullivan and Margaret Sullivan. Research shows that the father of these four and other children was Owen Sullivan whose Will was proved in Charlotte County, VA, on 6 Feb. 1769. This document listed twelve children, none of whom was named James.

Where did the names “Matoaka Bolling” and Sarah Harrison Choice” come from? We cannot find evidence in Charlotte/Luenburg records to indicate any connection between Sullivans and Bollings. Choice evidently is not a Charlotte/Luenburg name at all, although it is seen in Caroline County records. Of necessity one feels a strong suspicion that James Sullivan’s son James is involved in the Bolling-Choice-Sullivan mystery. It is true that the junior James Sullivan (who predeceased his father) did marry “a Bolling,” as stated by William Dunklin Sullivan. Her name was Nancy, daughter of Samuel Boling. Furthermore, Mrs. Samuel Bolling was Abigail Choice, daughter of Tully Choice of Virginia.

In Charlotte and Lunenburg Counties, VA, many documents can be see which show links among Sullivans, Perrins, and Burtons. None can be found in that place among Sullivans, Bollings, Choices. No marriage, no probate, no deed, no other court action—nothing at all---can be discovered which suggests a Sullivan connection with Bolling or Choice before the time that James Sullivan Junior married Nancy Bolling in South Carolina. As for the name “Matoaka,” this has yet to be discovered in primary records anywhere affecting these Sullivans.
As discussed above, county court records name Sarah as James Sullivan’s wife in Lunenburg county in 1756 and 1761 and again in Charlotte County in 1783. In between these years, Joseph Perrin designated by name his daughter Sarah Sullivan when he wrote his will in 1772. And the Equity Papers of Laurens County, SC, prove that when James Sullivan died in 1809, Sarah was his widow. Possibly some day, somewhere, a Sullivan descendant may come forward with an explanation of the pronouncements of the “Bible Record,” but such a development is doubtful. A clarification would be most interesting for a number of reasons.

What is disturbing in this instance is that the DAR appears to give its “stamp of approval” by accepting as a valid proof of descend a “document” so questionable. The “certification” that the typescript submitted “is a true copy of the Bible record” is not made by a commissioned notary public, and therefore one disinterested in anything but verification; it is made by an interested party “proving” a claim to qualification for membership in the DAR. Even without the public records that prove this “Bible Record” a creative distortion of true lines of descent, as a proof it should have been immediately suspect from its appearance. Typed by an amateur, no seal of a commissioned notary with expiration date, witnessed by a daughter of the self-designated “Notary,” a typescript purporting to give information from a Bible printed in 1789 in which a 1721 marriage is presumably recorded, all should have elicited immediate incredulity.

Perhaps most disturbing to a genealogical researcher who sincerely wants to know the true lines of descent is that had not the Equity Papers in South Carolina been found, one would have been tempted to accept a demonstrably false “document” as a valid proof, leading to a continued futile quest to reconcile the irreconcilable. Fortunately in this case, the probate papers in Virginia and South Carolina stand as impeccable proof of the truth. Despite the plethora of published material based on entrenched misinformation, we can indeed establish a true lineage for James Sullivan Senior, his ancestors and his descendants, one more interesting than the one which was constructed on the flimsy foundation of wishful thinking and---just possibly---stretching the truth for questionable ends. In the last analysis, a genealogical researcher should mistrust any printed family history that does not have documentation of the highest order, citing verse and chapter in primary sources available in public repositories. Otherwise mythology is accepted as genealogy. Our libraries are overflowing with family histories that should be relegated to the former classification.
