NOTE: "Have read Internet-posted databases that indicate this is Jo-Ann Elizabeth Brown. I have proven that this is not possible, as that family went on to Maine and Massachusetts and this family went to Virginia. No documentation, including the passenger lists, indicate to me that the Sullivant name was also O'Sullivan."

"A son, John Sullivan, born in Ardia, 1699, came to Maine in 1723, and was father of Major General John Sullivan, of New Haven (b. 1740. d. 1795), of the Revolutionary army; member of Congress, 1774, and President of New Hampshire, 1786 (see New Eng. Hist. and Gen. Register for October, 1865)."

JOHN O'SULLIVAN came to America October 24, 1655 (Patent Book 3, p. 392, Land Office, Richmond, Virginia). He came as a minor with his mother, ELIZABETH O'SULLIVAN. However, other sources say Elizabeth Sullivant was John O’Sullivan’s sister (Elizabeth Sullivant) or other relative.
