Mary Sullivan had a relatively large family - but I am not aware of any that headed to Troy. The names are:



Jeremiah - Went to Australia

Florence - Went to Australia

Mary - Went to New York

John - Stayed in Ireland on the family farm.

Michael - Went to Boston

Denis - Went to Boston

Margaret - Not sure

Catharine - Went to Granville NY (where Mary had since moved to).



Catharine is the given name of Mary's sister you are looking for, but I know that Catharine went directly to Granville NY in 1902 (per her immigration records).



I am guessing Mary came with other family, but I have no idea who, although an aunt Julia Sullivan was with her in Granville NY later in the early 1900s.



Thanks
