Vorisek's "Shotgun Markings" lists the brand name Wauregan (not Mauregan) as used by both Crescent and Hopkins & Allen.

In my research on old single barrel, single shot "Trade Brand Name"shotguns, I came across one with the name MAUREGAN ARMS CO and the maker was Crescent Fire Arms Company of Norwich, CT (1892 to 1930). Who the gun was made for and sold by I was unable to find out. If you will look at the bottom tang just behind the trigger guard you will find the serial number. Give me that number and I can tell you what year the gun was made.

Yes, I believe the late Joe Vorisek misread the script style marking, as here's a closeup and it's clearly an M:
