She was born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteenth Century. It appears that three of Mary's children (John Coogan, William Coogan and Mary Coogan) also emigrated to the United States - each by a different route. Mary's son, John Coogan, first settled in Massachusetts, but later moved to Dodge County, Wisconsin. He intitially lived in the town of Clyman - and was joined by his sister Mary Coogan. By 1860, John and his family were established in Montello (Marquette County). Meanwhile, Mary's other son, William Coogan, first settled in Maine. He only lived there a short time, and by 1870 he was living in Montello near his brother, John. Both families remained in that area for at least another decade. It is important to note that this family has nearly always appeared as COGAN. While there are some exceptions, this could actually have become the ultimate surname for this group. We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and to take over search! ************************** 01.
