The family arrived in the United States in the early Nineteenth Century. The earliest known members of this were living in Sparta township in 1840 (due to the census format that year, we are not able to determine the exact names of members of the family at that time and must conjecture relationships). A descendant of this family, John Coogan, later moved to Oakland County, Michigan. This family is probably related to the COOGAN other families that lived in Cayuga County between the 1850s and 1870s. Stories about "a large group of Coogans" in Livonia and Lima helped form the family structure below. It is definitely subject to change! We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and to take over the search! ************************** 01.
