Mary Colgan was an immigrant from Ireland. More than half a dozen Colgans from this family immigrated to the United States from Ireland in the wake of an Gorta Mór (the Great Famine), beginning circa 1850, and likely accomplished by chain migration. The exact number and identities are still under research, but the known members of the immigrant generations were:
Generation 1 - The Adults:
• Patrick Colgan (Born Abt. 1810)
