Although not closely related to them, the Grogan family of Westmeath, Dublin and Wicklow crossed paths with my own Dublin Courtenay family and with the Ryans of Ballymackeogh, Tipperary, who also intermarried with the Pennefathers of Newport, Tipperary, so I've done a little research into them, using Burke's genealogies available online on Google Books, Ancestry.com and the Irish Genealogy website.

Edward Grogan was the son of Edward Grogan of Ballytrain, Wexford;  he settled in Raheny, Dublin, and married Jane Grierson (28th February 1740/1 - November 22nd 1814), the daughter of George Grierson and Jane Blow, in St. Andrew's, Dublin, on 1st May 1762.  He was a silk mercer.
Their children follow:

1) George Grogan who died in 1763; also Euphemia Grogan who died in 1764.

2)  Janet Catherine Grogan, born 1766, married Sir Jonah Barrington in St. Werbergh's,  Dublin, on 7th June 1789.   See further detail below.

3) John Grogan of 10 Harcourt Street, Dublin, then of Tinakilly Lodge, Wicklow. (1770 - 1830).  A barrister, he married Sarah Medlicott, the daughter of George Dowling Medlicott of Youngstown, Kildare.  John Grogan was buried in the family plot in Raheny.   John Grogan and Sarah Medlicott had:
   
   a)  Sir Edward Grogan, Baronet of Moyvore, Westmeath (5th November 1802 - 1891).  Created a baronet on April 11th 1859, Sir Edward Grogan married Charlotte Katherine McMahon in the British Embassy in Paris on July 27th 1867, the ceremony being performed there by Edward's younger brother, Rev. Charles James Grogan, who was also heir-presumptive to Sir Edward. The bride, Charlotte Catherine,  was the eldest daughter of the baronet, Sir Beresford B. McMahon. Sir Edward Grogan, a fiercesome loyalist opposed to Catholic emancipation,  died at Ballyntyre House, Dundrum, Co. Dublin, in 1891.  He left a son, Sir Edward Ian Beresford Grogan, who had been born on 29th November 1873 at Avoca, Wicklow, and who succeeded his father as baronet on 26th January 1891.  There were also three daughters, Maria Katherine Nina, Sarah Madeleine and Aileen Edward Sybil Theresa.   The son, Sir Edward Ian Beresford Grogan, married Eleanor Flora Bosworth;  he died at Shropham Hall, Norwich, on 11th July 1927.
