June 27, 2005:

Hello Al:

While researching my SULLIVAN family tree, I came across your emails with 
Wayne and Debbie and others in your Bytown or Bust website.

I have just begun searching my SULLIVAN family tree and have located my GGG 
Grand father James SULLIVAN in Cumberland Twp., Russell Co. Ontario.

I have not been able to tie into any other SULLIVAN  family members on the 
net todate.

Also, this is not the same SULLIVAN family as Wayne and Debbie. My James 
SULLIVAN  family is ethnic Irish but Wesleyan Methodist not Anglican and 
my James SULLIVAN  came from Quebec.

I have included the census records for 1861 and 1881.

SULLIVAN census info

area of Cumberland. New Settlers

Remarks indicate they are new settlers.

Have found tombstone for James and Jane at:
Vars United Church Cemetery, Con. 5, Lot 2, Cumberland Township, Russell 
County (Currently Exists, as a field of stones, with an wrought iron fenced 
perimeter and well maintained)

Tomestone inscription reads:

Have also found the family in

reel B-881. The Sullivans had lived for a time in Montreal but were in 
Nepean by the early 1830s. William, who married Mary Jane Scott, remained at 
Merivale while his brother John who married Rebecca Gardiner moved in the 
1850s to Clarence Township.

wondering if you might have info to share?

Note: appears William and Samuel families living in same log house.

Also may have located SULLIVAN, John's brother
SULLIVAN, William and part family:

Wesleyan Methodist Baptism Register
Vol 1 and 2 Pg# 764, 707 and 188  Dist./Co. Dalhousie/ Nepean Area

Name surname father and mother residence birthplace birthdate
Anthony Sullivan, Willlam and Mary Nepean Nepean 1849-11-03
George Sullivan, Willlam and Mary J Nepean Nepean 1853-07-12
Harriet A. Sullivan, Willlam and Mary J Nepean Nepean 1854-04-13
Harvey Sullivan, Willlam and Mary J Nepean Nepean 1845-05-24
John Scott Sullivan, Willlam and Mary J Nepean Nepean 1843-01-23

This sees to fit with the Elliott, Bruce S, Source referred to in previous 
email.

Also in answer to you questions:

Absolutely. Please set up a new page on your site for my SULLIVAN ancestors.

I do believe Vars United Church Cemetery, Con. 5, Lot 2, Cumberland 
Township, Russell County.

And thanks for your help and I will follow up with Lena regarding
the JAMES surname.

I was wondering how I would search SULLIVAN, James family in province of 
Quebec c early 1800's?
... Dave
