This is the family of William Coogan.  He lived in County Laois /
Leix / Queens and emigrated to the United States in the mid 
Nineteenth Century.  He settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  He 
was a veteran of the US Civil War, rising to the rank of First
Sergeant.  He eventually died of wounds that he sustained on 
03 JUL 1863, during the Battle of Gettysburg, PA.  

We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and 
to take over the search!
