There is some uncertainty about the size of this family, but we have located several potential relatives. The earliest known member of the group is James Coogan. He was (apparently) born in New York and appears in the 1860 Census with his wife and three children. Another early family member could be Matthew Cogan. He appeared in the 1870 Census with three additional children. We are not certain how he is connected with the other parts of this group. Finally, there are several additional candidate family members who appear in Rochester or Denning during the period from 1860 to 1900. They used the surname COOGAN and COGAN (interchangeably, it seems). We have made some assumptions about their connection to the group. One difficulty with this line is the fact that the area where James lived was later submerged when one of the Ulster County reservoirs was built. This family has also been found with the surname KOGAN, COGAN and KOOGAN. We are currently looking for someone to link with this family and to take over the search! ************************* 01.
