REJECTED HYPOTHESIS (user 2026-05-27): an earlier read speculated this John Sullivan was the same as the John Sullivan of Reenavaud who fathered Patrick "Tailor" Sullivan (m. Catherine Murphy 1884). The user clarified Patrick Tailor is from a different Sullivan line; the two John Sullivans are distinct people (common Beara surname). Any actual Sullivan children of THIS John + Margaret Shea have not been identified in the archive.
