Hello, My great-great-grandmother was Rebecca Elizabeth Guinn who married Simon James O’Connor. My grandmother Mary Thelma Kincaid told me that Simon and Elizabeth actually donated the land to St. Coleman’s Catholic Church for $1. The children used to call Elizabeth ‘Liza’. From what I’ve been able to trace, the Sullivan family actually married into the O’Connor family at County Kerry, Dingle, Ireland before they came to America.
