Contributor: Jim Benedict
John's Early Years
John arrived in New Brunswick from Nova Scotia in 1831. His original birthplace is uncertain but likely it was in the old country, in Ireland. He worked in the forest industry, as the 1881 census lists his occupation as a lumberman.
Leaving England
John and Mary
Mary Haskett originally came from England or perhaps Tipperary and arrived in New Brunswick in 1822. After marrying John Fogan in Bathurst A on April 13, 1836, she and John stayed in the area, raising a family of four sons and one daughter. Sometime after James was born, the family move on to Chatham, some ninety miles south, as they are shown there on the 1851 census.
Lumbermen were vital to the growing Miramichi industry of shipbuilding, and John may have been involved in the harvesting of timber for the Cunard ship business based in Chatham, although it was in decline by that decade. Some background on Joseph Cunard is covered in the footnotes.
Mary died in Chatham on August 4, 1852 at the age of 39, just two years after James was born. Subsequently John moved the family back to Bathurst, although it seems the family was unable to stay together and infant James was left in the care of a Chatham family, adopted (per 1861 census) into the home of Thomas Brooks in Newcastle, across the river from Chatham.

John's Final Years
John Fogan lived out his years in Gloucester County, first in Bathurst where his daughter Mary Ann was married, then later moving to the coastal village of New Bandon. He is shown in the 1881 census as living with another widower and family, a James Ellis. John passed away in New Bandon ten years later in 1891.
