Teresa McDonald, c. 1874
This photograph was almost surely taken at the same photography studio as the next in this sequence, possibly on the same date. The backgrounds of the two images contain the same patterned screen design. The other photograph is probably that of Margaret Coogan Doyle, who arrived with her husband and children in New York City in 1869. Because of the resemblance between the woman in this photo and identifiable figures such as Mathew Coogan's wife, we can assume that this is an early photo of Teresa McDonald Coogan. Teresa was seventeen years old when she married Mathew and began a partnership in real estate development with him.
