Coogan (Skaneateles, NY) #181 - Walter Raymond Coogan [late of Skaneateles, NY] #279 - Bill Coogan (IL) Research: This is the family of William Coogan. He was born in Ireland. William's son, James Coogan, moved to the United States in the early Nineteenth Century. He first settled in Wareham (Plymouth County), Massachusetts. Later, he moved his family to Fall River (Bristol County). Some of his descendants still live in that area today. Another of William's sons, Patrick Coogan, also moved to Bristol County. He was married in Fall River in 1864. We are not sure what happened to him after that. One of William's grand-sons, John R. Coogan, died very young. However, he did have one son (William Vincent Coogan) who later moved to Chicago (Cook County), Illinois. A large part of this family still lives in that area. The branch also has connections with Philadelphia. Another of William's grand-sons, Sylvester Coogan, moved to New York City. Some of his offspring still live in that state but spread into Onondaga County. Other parts of this branch moved to Washington State in the 1920s. _________________________________________________________________ James is a descendant of James Coogan through his grandson, James B. Coogan. Walter was his brother. Bill is a descendant of James Coogan through his grandson, William Vincent Coogan. ********************** 01.
