I sure am. My grandfather on mothers side is a direct descendant of Wild Bill Sullivan. Wild Bill's great grandson.

I have a ring shaped mark across my nose from drinking moonshine from a mason jar. Thing is, I don't think I've ever drank anything out of a jar and I certainly don't drink moonshine. My mother has it too.

My grandma told me when my dad was 4 or 5 and acting up, all she had to do was look out the window and say "There comes Wild Bill" and he would run hide under the bed.

Looks like I've got a couple of uncles or cousins or both on here. My paternal grandmother was a Sullivan twice over: her mother was a Sullivan who also married a Sullivan. Thus, I'm afraid my family tree doesn't fork as often as it should.

I've been to a few funerals at Sardis Church near Mize. At the last one I went to about five years ago, the preacher (not a Sullivan) was about 30 years old. He told a story about his mother warning him as a child not to be caught in the Hollow after dark.

Went to a family reunion a few years ago and enjoyed seeing the long sheets of butcher paper listing the descendants from each of Pappy Tom's wives.

For those unfamiliar with the lore of Sullivan's Hollow, the family patriarch had 11 children with his wife. He had another 11 or so with his common law wife at the opposite end of the Hollow.
