All the HOGAN, MCMAHONS and SCOTTs on this page relate to shoemaker George B. HOGAN,
probably the brother of Patrick HOGAN,
our great great grandfather. George's listing for 295 E. 18th st first appeared in the
NYC directory in 1856, and it was the first directory listing for this branch of the family.
George was still living and working on 18th street on Jun 21, 1857 when he became a citizen,
and Patrick, then living "on 8th Avenue" was his witness.
On Oct 22, 1866, when George returned the favor by witnessing Patrick's naturalization,
Patrick was living at 63rd st and 8th Avenue.
My theory was that Patrick was a worker at Central Park, perhaps a gardener.
This was the only location I've ever found for Patrick's family in Manhattan
and his only known association.
Accordingly, I've followed George, in the hope other clues would surface.
Thus far, I've found no records of Patrick's family's existence between 1866 and 1888,
and then again between 1888 and 1900.
The 1865 directory reports George as living at 132 W 15th st. (see map 2),
and it was there that he and his wife Ann were captured in the 1870 census (both enumerations)
and where he died of TB Mar 06, 1872.
What became of widow Ann (nee ---?) HOGAN and whether they had children, I don't know.
George was buried in Old Calvary, and then reinterred in 1916 by a John SCOTT,
in a new plot at New Calvary along with several MCMAHONs.
Among other bequests, John SCOTT's 1920 will left
"$500 to the Little Sisters of the Assumption, at 312 East 15th St."
and though I don't know where John spent his early years,
this could indicate that he grew up in
this area. His mother, though named Catharine Scott McMahon on her
death certificate, was said to be the daughter of Richard HOGAN.
She was possibly widowed twice, once by James SCOTT; once by Andrew MCMAHON
(also interred with George HOGAN).
The other address on this map is 302 2nd Ave, which was the 1897 residencee
for a Francis HOGAN, who may or may not have been
the father of Francis J. HOGAN, who was John SCOTT's executor and possibly, cousin.
As a young lawyer (1904-10), Francis J. was at the Irving Place and 17th Street addresses
shown.
