Do you know of Cogan Station ???

Our sources for Cogan Station (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Cogan Station other than they indicate that Cogan Station would be found somewhere in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
