From Burval Genealogy
William Sullivan (1790-1857) is the son of William Sullivan (c1755-c1840). The earliest record we have found of William (1790-1857) is dated July 1812 where William Sullivant, Sr. and William Sullivant are listed on the Direct Tax Digest of Montgomery County, Georgia as listed in the "Republican and Savannah Evening Ledger" of 14 July and 28 July 1812.
On 23 March 1813 a licence was granted to William Sillavant to be married to Lidda Peacock by Stephen McCoy, C.C.O.. This record is recorded on page 174 in Bulloch County, Georgia Marriage Record Book 1A.
A William Sulivan Jr. from Montgomery County won Lot 128-9 in Monroe County, Georgia in the 1821 Land Lottery. What happened to this land has not been traced to determine if William Jr. ever moved onto it.
Prior to residing in Irwin County in 1850, William likely lived in Florida. This is borne out by the following notes taken by Judge Guy McClain of Lafayette County, Florida on 10 Jan 1953:
"I visited John Sullivan, aged and blind at Alton, Fla. He said his father was John Sullivan and his grandfather William Sullivan. They came from southern part of Georgia and drove a herd of cattle first to Payne's Prairie south of Gainesville, lost most of the cattle. Stayed there about 2 years. They then came to Lafayette Co., then Madison or Jefferson Co. about 1847 settled on place now owned by Harry
Putnal..."

"William Sullivan makes application to this court for letters of guardianship on the person and property of Solomon, Clemont T. and Elminia Sullivan, minors of William Sullivan, deceased."
This is the last public record of William (1790-1857) that the authors have been able to find. It is thus assumed that William died about 1857 in Worth County, Georgia. " [Evans, Tad, Albany, Georgia, Newspaper Clippings, Vol. II 1853-1860 ]
