Owen Sullivan, born in Caroline Co., Va., married Margaret Hewlet, who also was born in Caroline Go.
Their children were:
1. Charles Sullivan, born 1724 in Virginia; died 1808 in Greenville Co., S. C.
2. Margaret (or Maud, married Col. Samuel Wharton.
3. Pleasant - (Anderson Sulllvans)

Charles Sulllivan, son of Owen & Margaret, married Mary Johnson, "Granny in the Bed." Her maiden name was Charlton; born 1722, died 1837, born in Gouchland Co., Va., died in Greenville Co., S. C.
Charles Sullivan and Mary, with their children, moved
to Georgia before or during the Revolutionary War, and settled on the Ogeechee
River, near the town of Louisville, 50 miles from Augusta. While there,
Charles and his sons, Moses and Hewlet, fought for the independence of
their country under Capts. James Harvey, Irvin, and Tweggs. They remained
but a short time in Georgia, moving into S. C. and 1ocating on Little River,
Laurens District. Soon after their removal, Charles and his sons enlisted
in the company of Col. Hays, who was posted at Hays's station. After serving
under him for some time, they, with some others, received permission to
visit their homes to find wood and provisions for their families. After
doing this, Charles, Hewlet, and Moses set out to return to the Station,
within a few miles of which, they met Clayborne Simms fleeing with great
speed. He said he had been sent out that morning for corn, and, on returning,
he had found the yard and house lane full Or redcoats, and the house which
was occupied by Col. Hays and his men was on fire. Charles, Hewlet, Moses,
and some others passed around to the top of a hill, from which they saw
Hays and his men march out of the burning building and surrender. They
saw many hung and shot. (Hewlet - 16 yrs. in Army) Hewlet Sullivan was
inquired for by a Tory named Dunoho who wanted to kill him because he had
been whipped by Hewlet a short time before for stealing horses. Fortunately,
he was absent as we have stated. Cunningham was at the head of the Tories
who attacked Hays. Capt. George Martin and Hewlet Sullivan headed a company
of rangers near the close of the war and worried, whipped and killed many
of the Tories.
