Hugh Dugan of Ireland, Pennsylvania, and Owego to be discussed at the museum

On Saturday, Oct. 26 at 1 p.m., Certified Genealogist® Pam Anderson will discuss the life of Hugh Dugan, one of the original owners of the current Parkview Inn, from his immigration to the United States c. 1845 to his move to Susquehanna County, Pa., and finally his life in Owego, Tioga County. The presentation will take place at the Tioga County Historical Society, located at 110 Front St. in Owego.

The story continues after his death, following his widow, two sons, one granddaughter, and one great granddaughter who died in 2008 in New Jersey, the last of Hugh’s family line. This talk will cover over 150 years of the life and times of the Dugan family and how they dealt with historical circumstances.
