He appears on 'a List of Lower Norfolk People', in 1673 as 35 years old (Clerk's Office, Norfolk, VA; William & Mary Quarterly, Vol 260. . .will is recorded in Princess Anne Co., VA, Lynhaven Parish, dated May 12, 1698, proved Sept 7, 1698, Book 1, p. 194. . .Lands owned by him are mentioned in the will of Matthew Brinson, June 12, 1681 (Jour, Irish-American Society 25/103)." (Craig Ancestors, Peggy Newsom, RootsWeb World Connect Project database)
disputed origins
"NOTE: Have seen posted Internet databases stating this was the son of Owen Donel O'Sullivan and Jo-Ann Elizabeth O’Sullivan. I have proven that this is not possible, as that family went on to Maine and Massachusetts and this family went to Virginia. No documentation, including the passenger lists, indicate to me that the Sullivant name was also O'Sullivan. John named his son "Owen" after his father-in-law, Owen Hayes, not after a grandfather."
See: https://www.ancestry.com/boards/surnames.osullivan/218/mb.ashx "A son, John Sullivan, born in Ardia, 1699, came to Maine in 1723, and was father of Major General John Sullivan, of New Haven (b. 1740. d. 1795), of the Revolutionary army; member of Congress, 1774, and President of New Hampshire, 1786 (see New Eng. Hist. and Gen. Register for October, 1865)."
A Comment: I don't know if it is your research or Peggy's but since the statement "I have proven. . ." doesn't offer any references and the original source mentioned of John's father is not an internet source, but the reasonably credible "South Carolinas in the Revolution -- Sarah Sullivan Ervin - Reprinted with chapter on the Sullivan Family by Clearfield Publishing," I would like to see more evidence.
Comment on the comment: Sarah Sullivan Ervin was not considered a reliable pedigree source in the 1987 article, ""Magazine of Virginia Genealogy", Vol., 25, Nov. 1987, No. 4. pp. 3-13. JAMES SULLIVAN OF CHARLOTTE COUNTY AND THE PROBLEM OF ENTRENCHED DISINFORMATION By Carolyn Copeland Bland. link
