http://www.cooganresearchgroup.com/crg/index.htm 27 April 2014 Researcher (Location): CRG Sponsor (no links to a researcher yet) Research: This is the family of Bernard Coogan. He was born in Ireland. Thomas's son, Bernard Coogan, emigrated to the United States in the mid Nineteenth Century. He settled in Manchester (Ocean County), New Jersey. Bernard's son, John Coogan, appears to have moved to Newark (Essex County) in the early 1890s. We are still researching the events, but it also appears that he died in 1896 and left a young widow with two sons. She may not have been able to care for them (there is census evidence that relatives assisted in the upbringing of the boys. Our research indicates that this branch married into the KING Family of Perth Amboy (Middlesex County). Through that marriage, the family is also connected to the CLINCHY surname. We will continue to refine the connections - check back for updates. This family has also been found as COGAN. We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and to take over the search! ******************** 01. [ male01 ] COOGAN Children of [ male01 ] Coogan: 02.
