They also seem to have had a connection to Cross Keys townland. Two members of this group, John Francis Coogan and Edward Joseph Coogan, emigrated to the United States in the early Twentieth Century. They settled in Brooklyn (Kings County), New York. The brothers worked at copper companies in Laurel Hill, Long Island. A 1940 obituary in the "Brooklyn Eagle" stated that Edward had a cousin named Bridget Reilly (native of County Cavan) who lived with him at the time of her death. Her immediate family included a sister, Rose, and a nephew, Rev. Bernard J. Reilly. The 1901 Census of Ireland indicates that parts of this family could have moved into County Monaghan. Another clue to this family's history may be included in the Ellis Island immigration records: an Edwin I. [or T.] Coogan (age 32) arrived at Ellis Island aboard "Aquitania" on 20 NOV 1920 - he was from "Killatam." Descendants of this group reside in New York, Florida and Georgia. This family was found as COGAN in the 1940 US Census. _________________________________________________________________ James is a descendant of Edward Joseph Coogan through his son, James Joseph Coogan. Kelly is a descendant of Edward Joseph Coogan through his son, Edward Coogan II. ******************** 01. [ male01 ] COOGAN Children of [ male01 ] Coogan: 02.
