Sources

The basic essay on this family is George E. McCracken, Early Cogans English and American, New England Historical and Genealogical Register 110 (1956): 185-201; 111 (1957): 5-18, 84-91, 168-87, 245-8, esp. 111:168-77. McCracken speculates that Henry may be the son of Henry and Elizabeth (Carey) Cogan, of Chedzoy, Somerset, but ultimately leaves the matter unresolved (pp. 168-9). There is also a brief item by Tim Farr, ibid., 168 (2014): 298, with corrections on some of Henry and Joane’s children.
