http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 09 July 2022 Researcher (Location): #347 - Matt Erickson (UT) Research: This is the family of John Coogan. He was probably born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteenth Century. He settled in Charleston, South Carolina. John was (apparently) a policeman during the siege of Charleston (during the US Civil War). When he was killed (see CRG "Coogan News Stories") in 1864, he left behind a widow (Catherine) and a young son. John's son, John James Coogan, also died young - but not before he fathered three children. His widow, Cordelia Bridget Quinn, later took the family to New York City. The family actually grew in later years, augmented by descendants from her marriage to James Farrell. There is another potential male member of this group: a Thomas E. Coogan was living with Catherine Coogan and her son, John Coogan, in 1882. This family has also been found as COGAN and CROGHAN. It appears they were known as COGAN for part of the time in Charleston and began (resumed ?) using COOGAN in New York. _________________________________________________________________ Matt is related to this family through Cordelia Bridget (Quinn) Coogan's marriage into the Farrell family. ************************ 01.
