http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 26 December 2023 Researcher (Location): #217 - Susan Coogan Forney (Buffalo, NY) Research: This is the family of Henry Coogan. He was born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteeth Century. Henry's wife, Catherine, was born in Fillinacross, County Tyrone. It appears that the couple settled in western New York but may also have lived in Ontario (Canada) during the 1840s. Henry later set up residence permanently in Buffalo (Erie County), New York. One of Henry's grand-sons, Henry Jennings Coogan, was born in Buffalo but lived many of his early years abroad. In 1903, while enroute to San Francisco for an Australian and Western Pacific voyage, he stopped in the Reno area of Nevada to take part in the excitement in Goldfield (Gold/Silver Rush ?). He lived most of the rest of his life in Carson City and was active in Nevada politics. Most of the descendants of this family have lived in Chautauqua County near the towns of Dunkirk, Sheridan and Fredonia. This family has also been found as COGAN, CUGAN and COUGAN. _________________________________________________________________ Susan is a descendant of Raymond Bruce Coogan. ************************** 01.
