==Biography==
Thomas Sullivan was born in County Meath, Ireland, most likely to either Patrick Sullivan and Bridget Conolly or Rich Sullivan and Mary McCann, based on available baptism records.〔Ancestry.com, Ireland, Selections of Catholic Parish Baptisms, 1742–1881 (on-line ), Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011 (Original data: Parish Registers. Dublin, Ireland: National Library of Ireland (NLI).〕〔Sources provide differing dates for his birth, making it difficult to match his birth to baptismal records with a high degree of certainty.〕 At age 28 he immigrated to the US and enlisted in the US Army at 28 years and five months age. His listed occupation on his enlistment documentation was a "laborer".〔Ancestry.com, New York, Passenger Lists, 1820–1957 (on-line ), Year: 1889; Arrival: New York, New York; Microfilm Serial: M237, 1820–1897; Microfilm Roll: Roll 531; Line:47; List Number: 358; Ancestry.com, U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798–1914 (National Archives Microfilm Publication M233, 81 rolls), Records of the Adjutant General’s Office, 1780’s-1917, Record Group 94, Year Range: 1885–1890, Surname Range: L-Z, Image: 443, Line: 588.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irish Immigrant Private Thomas Sullivan, E Troop, 7th Cavalry – Conspicuous Bravery – Army at Wounded Knee )〕
Sullivan was immediately assigned to Troop E 7th Calvary and served four total enlistments with the unit. Afterward, for his fifth enlistment, he transferred to Troop H 2D Calvary. There he served as quartermaster sergeant. Sullivan would go on to serve in both Cuba and the Philippines as part of the Spanish American War before retiring from Ft. Bliss as a First Sergeant with 23 years total in the Army.〔
Following his retirement Sullivan returned to New Jersey, married a woman named Ellen, another naturalized Irish immigrant, and worked intermittently as a watchman, guard, and policeman. He died in 1940 and was buried in the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery along with his wife who had died six years earlier.〔
