Patti, Yes, I believe Sullivant to be an older(?) variation of Sullivan. My Grandfather Clovis T.Sullivan, often signed his surname "Sullivant".His brother, my Great-Uncle Willis says the 't' was dropped when he was in school, I'm guessing sometime in the'30s. And yes, it is very common in the Southeast. Slan leat-Billy T. (Middlesex,N.C.)
