http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 15 December 2019 Researcher (Location): #299 - Mary Coogan Stimson (Ocala, FL) Research: This is the family of Peter Coogan. He was born in Morristown, County Kildare, Ireland. He moved (with his parents) to the United States the mid Nineteenth Century. After a few years living in Watertown (Jefferson County), New York, and abroad (on a whaling ship!), Peter eventually settled in Syracuse, (Onondaga County), New York. Some of Peter's descendants moved to Buffalo but most still live in the Syracuse area today. This family may have originally been surnamed COGAN. The name was probably "changed" to COOGAN by the newspapers after the family moved to Syracuse, where the famous Jackie Coogan's family also resided. At least one member of this group continued to use COGAN in the Twentieth Century. _________________________________________________________________ Mary is a descendant of Peter Coogan through his son, Charles F. Coogan. ************************* 01. [ male01 ] COOGAN Children of [ male01 ] Coogan: 02.
