31 May 2008 Researcher (Location): #49 - Kathi Clark-Colton (Chicago, IL) Research: This is the family of Lawrence Coogan, a butcher. He was born in Ireland and emigrated to the United States in the late Nineteenth Century. He settled in New York, New York. A family story tells of how Lawrence had been seeing Mary Mooney from Cork County, Ireland. Upon entering the United States, he got a job in New York and saved up enough money for passage for Mary to come to the United States. He told her what ship to take, and then arranged to deliver meat to that ship as it pulled into New York. He went on board with the meat, delivered it, and put Mary into the meat barrels and wheeled her off the ship! She ended up marrying Lawrence and became a citizen because he had applied for citizenship for himself. _____________________________________________________________________ Kathi is a descendant of Lawrence Coogan. ************************ 1.
