John Hogan and Mary Sullivan met and married in Ireland and had a son and a daughter. In 1840 they left Ireland, traveling on the same boat as Mary Tuohy and three of her nine brothers. The Tuohys and Hogans got acquainted on the boat. Mary Sullivan Hogan was very sick on board, and Mary Tuohy babysat the Hogan children often.

When they arrived on this side of the pond, they went to Brock (?) Canada. On modern maps there is one town with a similar-ish name on the southern border of Ontario, right along the St. Lawrence River, that may have been the right area. In their first year, John Hogan worked at cutting wood to make a living. Mary Sullivan Hogan continued to sicken, and died soon after arrival.

John Hogan then married Mary Tuohy. Mary Tuohy Hogan gave birth to ten more children as well as raising the first two Hogan children. The first five were born in Canada; then in about 1850 they crossed the border and settled on a farm in Beaver County, Wisconsin. The rest of the children were born in Wisconsin. John Hogan died in 1868 of pneumonia.
