We have traced family to William S. Him and a brother along with the dad took the boat from County Cork. The dad died on the trip and William S. may have been adopted into the Sullivan family.
William had a 1/2 brother named Samuel Richardson, who was killed in the civil war.
We have more names, but they are from Ohio and West Virginia.

Many thanks for joining us here and letting us know something about your ancestors! ☘️

Information on births, deaths, and marriages before 1864 can be tricky, as all records would be church/parish records, so you would need to know the specific area that they would have come from. The National Library of Ireland has a website where you can find some details on any records they have or where to look.
