Sir Charles Sullivan was trustee under the will of his father-in-law Robert Taylor Ember Court, by which his wife Jean Ann had inherited a share in her father's estates with her brothers as tenants-in-common. By c. 1832 the estate appears to have passed entirely to Jean Ann's brother Robert Taylor.
