Mary (Murphy) Sullivan (PJM's sister; m. a Sullivan; Butte 1908; possibly Yellowstone-county Mary A. Sullivan 1909 probate)
Also known as: Mary Sullivan
family confidence: 75 — strong
PJM's sister Mary, who married a (unidentified) Sullivan and was a Butte resident in January 1908. Explicitly identified as PJM's sister in the 1908-01-07 Butte Daily Post: "Mary Sullivan, a sister of Patrick Murphy." Testified at PJM's Jan 7 1908 insanity commission hearing (alongside Ellen Murphy and Maggie Murphy). POSSIBLY = the Mary A. Sullivan of Yellowstone county appointed guardian of Margaret Murphy in the 1909-04-07 probate of the Ellen Murphy estate (would make the 1909 probate a directly family event, not a peripheral namesake). Pending corroboration. Mary Sullivan-Murphy was therefore JJM's PATERNAL AUNT — new aunt added to the family tree from the 1908 commission coverage.
