http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 11 August 2019 Researcher (Location): #092 - William Murphy (Ridgewood, NJ) #402 - Mark C. Coogan (San Diego, CA) Research: This is the family of Patrick Joseph Coogan, a grocer. He was born in County Cavan, Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the late Nineteenth Century. He settled in Newark, New Jersey. Patrick's descendants lived in Essex county and the surrounding cities (known as the "Oranges"). At least one member of this family moved to Sacramento, California. An intriguing entry in Massachusetts marriage records hint that Patrick was married in Webster in 1875 and that his parents names were Martin and Anna. We are still researching this idea. _________________________________________________________________ William is married to a descendant of Patrick Joseph Coogan.
