[2] Duggan: Of this family was Peter Paul Duggan, an artist, born in Ireland, who early in life went to the United States, America, developed a taste for art, and ultimately became Professor in the New York Free Academy. Though the crayon was his favourite medium, he occasionally painted a masterly head in oil. For many years an invalid, he latterly resided near London, and died in Paris on the 15th October, 1861. And of this family was Doctor James Duggan, whose name is mentioned in the Second Charter granted in 1828 to the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
