http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 15 December 2020 Researcher (Location): #121 - Elizabeth Hanebury [late of Lancaster County, PA] Research: This is one of the Coogan families from County Dublin, Ireland. At least two parts of the group emigrated to the United States before 1850, but we are not yet sure if they were cousins or brothers (we assume brothers in the framework below). One section, headed by Morris Coogan, can easily be traced in the "Old World" with Irish birth and marriage records. In 1837, the group emigrated to the United States (recorded in New York passenger lists). The family settled in Western New York, residing primarily in Livingston County and adjacent areas of Ontario County. Some members of this family later moved into Cayuga County. A second section, led by Joseph Coogan, emigrated later (we estimate 1848). A family story says that Joseph decided to move to America "to grow hops for Guinness Beer." The group also settled in the Finger Lakes Region of New York State, primarily in Cayuga County. Some of Joseph's descendants later moved to the Oil City area of Venango County, Pennsylvania. While the original surname was almost certainly COOGAN (per Irish records), both families can sometimes be found in New York using the surname COGAN. It actually appears that different parts of the family decided to use COGAN or COOGAN well into the early Twentieth Century. _________________________________________________________________ Elizabeth is a descendant of Joseph through his daughter, Ann. ********************** 01.
