http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 18 May 2014 Researcher (Location): #047 - Bob Leffel (Anderson, IN) #167 - Tracy Perkins-Schmittler (Richmond, IN) Research: This is the family of Patrick Coogan. He was born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteenth Century. He first settled in White County, Illinois. Patrick's children lived along the border of Indiana (Wabash River) for many years: Edgar, Crawford & White Counties [IL]; Vigo & Gibson Counties [IN]. Many descendants still live in the area today. This family has been found as COOGEN and COUGAN. There is a chance that this family is related to the New Orleans, Louisiana, Coogan family. In 1850, an Ann Coogan (with her children Catherine, Joseph and Mary) was living in Edwards County near Patrick Coogan's family. Her children were reportedly born in LA. Obituaries of the New Orleans Coogan family requested "Grayville, White County, Ill., papers please copy." This theory is still being developed - but if it is true, then this family probably originated in Dublin, Ireland. _________________________________________________________________ Bob is a descendant of Eleanor Coogan. Tracy is married to a descendant of Thomas Coogan. ************************ 01. [ male01 ] COOGAN Children of [ male01 ] Coogan: 02.
