Biography

Birth

Jeremiah Sullivan (also known as Jermiah or Jarmin) was born about 1815 in Ireland^[1].

Marriage and Children

Jeremiah married Elizabeth Grant about 1848. (estimate is based on the oldest child being two years old in 1851.

Jeremiah and Elizabeth had nine Children:

Catherine Anne^[2] (1850-1934)

John (1854-)

William^[3] (1855-1928)

Mary (1857-)

Sophia (1859-1874)

Charles Jeremiah^[4] (1863-1918)

Thomas Jeremiah (1863-1944)

Elizabeth (1866-)

Frederick (1868-1937)

Residence & Occupation

Jeremiah first appears in the 1851 census of Canada with his wife and oldest child, Catherine, as a labourer in Saltfleet Townhip Wentworth County, Canada West, Province of Ontario^[5].

By 1861 Jeremiah and his family had moved west to Grimsby township in Lincoln county where he is still listed as a labourer on the 1861 census^[6]. The 1871 census lists Jeremiah as a farmer in the same township^[7].

Sometime before 1881, Jeremiah moved his family from the Niagara Peninsula northwest to Euphemia Township in Lambton County where he takes up farming again^[8][9]. It should be noted that the "District" of Bothwell was an electoral district only. It lasted from 1867 to 1904 and consisted of parts of both Kent and Lambton counties^[10]. Although the 1881 census lists the Sullivan's residence as Bothwell, the actual physical location was in Lambton county.

Death & Burial

Jeremiah Sullivan died December 31, 1891 of Bright's disease (chronic nephritis), of which he had suffered for two years^[11]. He is buried in the Cairo Cemetery, Lot 26, Conc. 7, County Rd. 2 (Bentpath Line), Dawn-Euphemia Township, Lambton, Ontario, Canada ^[1]
