Hi Marie,
From the 1930 censu image, it said he was married. He may have left a wife back in Ireland. He also may have applied or became naturalized. It's not clear on that image if he did. Would suggest you check with NARA to see if there are naturalization papers. You can google for that information.
Just found this - Not sure it's your James:
Boston Passenger Lists, 1820-1943
about James McColgan
Name: James McColgan
Arrival Date: 26 Mar 1923
Age: 21 Years
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1902
Gender: Male
Ethnic Background: Irish
Port of Departure: Londonderry, Ireland
Ship Name: Cameronia
Port of Arrival: Boston, Massachusetts
Friend's Name: Eugene Doherty
Last Residence: Ireland
Birthplace: Clonmany, Ireland
Microfilm Roll Number: 276
He did not embark on this ship. His father's name was James McColgan, Lagahurry, Isle of Doagh, Clonmany
I am NOT sure this is your James, but from the later voyage, it could well be him. He was going to travel with Hugh Doherty who also did not sail.
I found a Hugh Doherty, carpenter, who came to the US in 1927 going to Boston, but am not sure it is the right Hugh.
I think you should check 1911 Irish census records. Unfortunately the Donegal 1911 Irish census images are not online yet. Only Dublin.
Regards,
Sue Nass
