Michael was a prominent member of the Democratic party in Essex and Hudson Counties, NJ. He was a member of the NJ State Assembly in 1869, 1870 and 1871. Michael's descendants thrived in Harrison, Belleville and Kearny for many years. One member of this family, Kay [ ] Coogan, moved to Rockland County, New York, when her husband was killed during World War II. Descendants still live in that area. This family has also been found as COGAN and CAGAN. _________________________________________________________________ John and Daniel are descendants of Michael Coogan through his son, John F.
