Sullivan family in Moundsville West Virginia, USA.

[lindeypop]

Hello, I am looking for information on a family whose surname is Sullivan, and who went to Moundsville, West Virginia, USA...  A Mr. John Chester Sullivan, born 1898 ish, would be my grandfather. When he grew up, Mr. John C. Sullivan had a farm of 50 acres at Moundsville. There is a road in Moundsville named Sullivan road, which I think may have lead out to his place, but I do not know for ceetain. I am hoping to find out about thier life in Moundsville, or any memories anyone may have of them. Thank you.

Have you considered writing a letter/email to the local newspaper or facebook group for people who may have known them?

Hello, Yes, thank you; it's a good idea, and I have ie facebook. I have considered the local newspapers, but tbh, I have also been in touch with a couple of lingering very old family relatives, so I decided not to. Posting here is more of a reach out to anyone who may still be alive and moved away from that area; ie either themselves, or thier surviving family members.
