He was born in Ireland and lived in County Dublin. Benjamin's son, Richard C. Coogan, emigrated to the United States in the late Nineteenth Century and settled in Peoria (Peoria County), Illinois. Benjamin's grandson, Richard Franklin Coogan, moved to San Mateo, California. This group could be related to the family of Michael Coogan, who also lived in Peoria.
