Coogan. He was born in County Monaghan and later moved to Belfast (County Antrim), [Northern] Ireland. Francis emigrated (with his wife and children) to the United States in the early Twentieth Century. The family settled in Kearny (Hudson County), New Jersey. A family story tells of how Francis delivered bread in a horse- drawn cart in both Catholic and Protestant areas of Belfast - until some of the Protestant locals began to "take shots at him." He was twice smuggled out of the area in the shelves of his own bread-cart so he could escape alive. This led to his decision to leave Ireland for North America. One of Francis' sons, Michael Joseph Coogan, later moved to the San Diego area of California. _________________________________________________________________ Michael is a descendant of Francis X. Coogan through his son, Michael Joseph Coogan. Melanie is related to this family through the marriage of Thomas Coogan and Lena Glover. ************************** 01.
