I'm seeking descendants of William James Dugan and wife Mary Ann Meehan. William James was a Civil War Veteran. Often he signed his name James Dugan. I have his widow's Pension and his medical documents from that War. This family resided in Watervliet, Albany, NY William James Dugan b. 10 Nov. 1845, probably in Ireland, son of John Patrick Dugan and Mary McLaughlin d. 5 April 1897 Mattewan State Hospital, bur. St. Patrick's Cemetery, Watervliet m. Mary Ann Meehan 12 April 1885 St. Marks, Green Island, Albany Co., both resided Watervliet at time of marriages issue: Elizabeth Mary b.12 Oct. 1885, bpt. 3 Jan. 1886, St. Patricks Charles James b. 1 may 1887, bpt. 16 April, ibid Jane Ellen b. 25 April 1889, bpt. 19 May ibid Agnes Josephine b. 10 Sept, bpt. 10 Oct. 1891 Son Charles is residing in Watervliet in 1930 with his family: wife Dorothy, children: Charles, Walter, James, Edward.

Hi Deanna, (Information from NYS Affidavit For License to Merry} I am not sure if this is the same James Dugan but my Great Uncle Alexander Waugh married a Hanora C. Dugan on 29 Dec 1909 in Troy, N.Y. She hardly ever used Hanora instead was called Nonie C. Dugan. Her father James Dugan was born in Ireland as well as her mother Mary O'Brien. There Witnesses where Edna C. Ryan and J. Raymond Ryan. She also has a brother James. This is about all I have on my G Uncle and just thought I would send it to you to examine.

Hello Ed. It's nice to hear from you. The James Dugan you speak of here may be the James Dugan who Made affidavit for Owen McGough's Medical Pension. Owen McGough's son John is the man involved in the murder in Troy in 1894 along with Bat Shea. I have to sort out these all of the James Dugans a little more. It's very likely however, that you are of the Dugan group mentioned above and not of the William James Dugan who married Mary Ann Meehan. I have not traced the children of William James Dugan who died at Mattewan State Hospital. It is these descendants that I'm seeking so that I can see that they get a copy of this James' Pension. I certainly will share with you what I do know about the James Dugan probably kin by marriage, to Owen McGough's wife, Catherine Dugan. She d. 1872 and is buried in St. Peter's in Troy with her husband Owen. Keep in touch.
