  • Does John L Sullivan have any living descendants

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 20 08:37:59 2019
    John L. Sullivan was born 10/15/1858. His last match against Jim Corbett was 09/07/1892, making him a month short of being 34 years old. His final record was Won 38 (KO 32)/Lost 1 (KO 1)/Draw 1. His lone draw was a six-round contest versus Canadian Patsy
    Cardiff on 01/05/1887 before 10,000 fams at the Washington Roller Rink in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Sullivan broke his arm in the first round.

    undoubtedly encounter any number of gents of Irish descent who claim a blood bond to the great John L. Sullivan. (:

    John L. was a few weeks shy of 44th birthday when he lost title to Corbett; without that fight would have been undefeated with three draws.

    so according to my mother, he's my great grandmother's relative. She was his cousin I believe.

    So my mother told me he's her grandmother's cousin. My great grandmother, but when I went searching it was said that Catherine and Michael, his parents were my great grandmother's grandparents but I've been trying to figure out her parents, since there
    is zero record of John L having any children, anyone who might be able to help who might have the family tree, my great grandmother's name was Ellen Elizabeth Sullivan, later to become Ellis lived in Boston and she died Jan of 1910. Thanks for any
    information in advance :)

    Hi I have been told that John L. Sullivan was my great great grandfather, my daddy's great grandfather. My great grandmother was Bessie Sullivan Hyche. I would be interested in knowing if he was my great grandmother's father.

    Thank you,
    Angie
