Graduated from University of Pennsylvania on Friday, April 6 1838, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine, with a speciality in Acute Rheumatism. Married Mary Ruth Clark in Tioga Co, PA about 1837/38.

Two years after his death, the 1880 Census for Sardis, MS lists an age 63 female as M.B. Sullivan, with a 26 year old Step-Daughter who is one of Dr. Sullivan's daughers by his first wife.
