Coogan (Castlerea, County Roscommon, Ireland) Research: This is the family of Owen Coogan, a weaver. He was born in Ireland and probably lived in County Monaghan. Owen had at least one son, Philip Coogan. He lived in County Monaghan in 1860 and had several children there. Owen's grand-son was Owen Coogan, a 20 year career soldier in the British Army. He later retired to County Offaly (Kings County). It is said that he could write beautifully and also composed music. The family of Owen's great-grand-son, Owen Coogan, eventually emigrated to the United States. This group lived in Chicago (Cook County), Illinois. Another part of the family moved to Australia. _________________________________________________________________ Geraldine and Loreto are descendants of Owen Coogan through his great-great-granddaughter, Annie Coogan. Philip is a descendant of Owen through his great-great-grandson, Patrick John Coogan. _________________________________________________________________ This family's history is displayed at the following site: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/o/o/Philip-J-Coogan/index.html _________________________________________________________________ Philip wrote a book about his experiences as a young man during the "Troubles" of Northern Ireland (1970s).
