Contributor: The Kiter (48221822) Hello. My great grandfather is Luke Vincent Sullivan. I would like to have you share some interesting information regarding Luke which my father Ken Sullivan has discovered after years of dedicated research. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/117258062/luke-v-sullivan#add-to-vc. Luke (Anderson on orphanage documents) Sullivan was an orphan who traveled via the orphan train from The Foundling Home in New York to Highland, Iowa County, Wisconsin. He was 3 yrs old at the time that John and Ann Sullivan took Luke in as a foster child (Sept 20, 1887). (Father Thomas Dempsey received the orphans to "procure good homes for them"). My father obtained a limited amount documentation supporting the stories he heard regarding his grandfather when he was growing up. Apparently there was a courthouse fire at some point and records were lost. He received a letter from The Foundling Home in 2014, a Dodgeville Chronicle newspaper clipping from Oct. 7, 1887 regarding the 15 orphans who came from New York to Highland, and census records showing Luke as a member of the Sullivan household. There are no official adoption records as far as my father knows. At some point in time, Luke lived with brothers Patrick and/or Edward. Perhaps you could link Luke Sullivan on to John and Ann Sullivan's memorials which could possibly lead to more information. Luke's first wife and mother to his children was Marguerite Cooney Sullivan (Rita) FaG #82810197. Their children are: 1. Son, Raymond Earl Sullivan born 25 June 1907 in Highland, Iowa County, Wisconsin died in 1907. I can't find a memorial for this infant. 2. Son, Gerald Vincent Sullivan (my grandfather) FaG 47965603 created by parsong. 3. Daughter, Nina Cecile Sullivan born Sept 8, 1911, died Feb 3, 1996 in Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska (I can't find a memorial for her) 4. Son Carl Joseph Sullivan born Sept 11 1914, died July 12, 1999 in Vancouver, Clark County, Washington (haven't found a memorial for him) 5. Son Raymond Francis Sullivan born Sept 20 1919 in Lawler, Iowa, died Jan 13, 2003 in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon FaG 36372329 created by GCO. My father would like the information he has obtained shared to anyone who might be interested, I thought perhaps that would be you. Thank you.
