Great-grandfather, Charles Sullivan moved from Twitty's Creek, Charlotte Co, VA during the old Revolutionary War, settled near Louisville, Ga., on the Ogeechee river about 50 miles west of the city of Augusta. They bought land there, but did not remain long - the Indians and Tories were so troublesome. THey moved back into South Georgia. He and grandfather Hewlet Sullivan and Uncle Moses Sullivan were pressed into the army in GA, for 6 months under Capt. Harvey and Col. Twiggs. WHen their time was out they got up their cattle and hogs and went into Augusta where the commanding officer impreped their stoc, giving them rice and salt in exchange.
