http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 18 May 2014 Researcher (Location): #316 - John O'Reilly (Northampton, England, UK) Research: This is the Coogan family of Athboy, County Meath, Ireland. The family also (apparently) had connections with County Dublin. Three brothers from this group emigrated to the United States in the late Nineteenth Century and early Twentieth Century. They all settled in Elizabeth [City] (Union County), New Jersey. Ellis Island records state that John Coogan left his home in Dublin for the United States to visit a cousin in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He later appears there and is closely connected with James Coogan, his brother. At another time, James lived with a different brother, Patrick Coogan. Patrick's 1918 Draft Registration stated that he came from Athboy. This family has also been found as KUGAN. _________________________________________________________________ John is a descendant of John Coogan through his daughter, Margaret Coogan. ******************** 01.
