General Notes: Husband - Judge Samuel Sullivan


He was a Sullivan of the Delaware family of that name. It is well established that this branch of the Sullivan family came to Delaware with Lord Baltimore. Judge Samuel Sullivan left Delaware and was a resident at different times of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, St. Clairsville and Lancaster, Ohio, finally settling in Zanesville, Ohio. He became a very prominent man in the public life of Ohio. During the administration of President Jackson, Judge Sullivan was treasurer of the state of Ohio, and came into open conflict with the president, whose orders he refused to obey in a matter pertaining to state finance. He aroused the wrath of President Jackson but did not quail before it. He was sustained by the Ohio State Legislature, which passed a vote of thanks, commending his course and supporting him in the position he took, opposing the chief executive of the nation.
