Mary Murphy O'Sullivan (b. Dec 1846 Ballycrovane; Patrick's sister; first wife of Jack "Dorohy" O'Sullivan)
Also known as: Mary Murphy, Mary Sullivan, Mary O'Sullivan
family confidence: 95 — certain (corroborated)Murphy (paternal)
Patrick's sister Mary in the family tree. In the Annals of Beara (II p. 270) she is Seamus Mór and Peig's eldest child: "Mary (Dec. 1846) was first wife of her 3rd cousin Jack O'Sullivan, son of Patrick O'Sullivan (Shearhig) and Mary O'Sullivan (Dorohy), Deargrua. Jack, or Jack Dorohy as he was known, later married Nora O'Sullivan — sister of Sean (a Choill) O'Sullivan, Caolrua". The tree gives her a Sullivan husband and a Butte residence in 1908; that residence rests on the 7 Jan 1908 hearing report, whose "Mary Sullivan" may be a different woman (see person_mary_sullivan_sister_of_pjm_pre1908).
