  • 7 the Sullivan Family
    77 TTHHEE SSUULLLLIIVVAANN FFAAMMIILLYY PATRICK SULLIVAN Patrick Sullivan was born in 1808 in the townland of Lisdeen, situated about two miles from Kilkee on the Kilrush to Kilkee Road in County Clare, Ireland. His parents were James Sullivan and Mary Kennedy. It is thought that Patrick was probably the eldest son. He had one brother, John, who died in 1827 aged 16, and four younger siblings. His father was a small farmer who died sometime before 1834. Patrick’s father James Sullivan, and Partners, were listed in the Tithe Applotment Books of 1828 as holding (leasing) two acres of first quality land in Lisdeen. Nearby, John Sullivan also leased land – both first and second quality, totalling over two acres. It appears that James and John Sullivan split their father’s land upon his death - just over four acres, creating yet smaller holdings and further diminishing the amount of land available to support these poor families. The Sullivans would have been tenant farmers paying rent to Protestant landlords, some of whom were absentee owners. Potatoes were the main crop grown and turf cutting was another form of employment which helped support the families and was used to provide fuel for the winter months. Men, women and children took part in turf cutting. Cattle Fair Day at Kilkee, County Clare, Ireland. Image courtesy County Clare Library The Sullivans had relatives named McInerney living in the Lisdeen area although it is not known whether they were connected to the Sullivan or Kennedy side of the family. Land records around 1827-1828 show a number of Sullivans, McInerneys and Kennedys living on rateable land in townlands in the Kilfearagh Parish.
