Research:

This is the Coogan family of Stamullin [or Stamullen], County 
Meath, Ireland.  The family maintained ties to that townland 
from the mid Nineteenth Century until (at least) 1911. An 
important clue to the relationships is that Benjamin and Anne 
were said to have 13 children (9 still living) in 1911.

It appears that the ancestor of this family was Joshua Coogan, 
a wealthy farmer from Whiteleas (near Bellewstown).  He was 
killed on 11 JUL 1859 in an unfortunate riding accident while 
riding between his home and Drogheda.  

The framework of this whole family is tentative and is subject 
to change. 

One member of the group, Benjamin James Coogan (son of Benjamin
Coogan), emigrated to Australia in the late Nineteenth Century.  
He settled in Parramatta, New South Wales. The family was later 
connected to Wentworthville.

Another member of the family, Joshua Coogan (son of John Coogan), 
emigrated to the United States in the late Nineteenth Century. 
He first settled in New York.  He was sent to the Philippines 
during the Spanish American War and later served for many years 
at the Presidio in San Francisco, California.  An important clue 
to the family connections in the US is that Joshua's New York 
address in the 1900 census was given as 111 W. 13th Street.  In 
the same census, a Michael Coogan (mason) lived at 111 E. 13th 
Street - he may be related.

Robyn is a descendant of Benjamin Coogan.

Michael is a relative of Margaret Maloney, who married Benjamin
James Coogan [JR].
