Thomas Duggan ¹

  General Notes:

The two baptisms shown below both show a Thomas Duggan as a sponsor into the church for the baptisms of two of the children of Colonel George Duggan and his wife Mary (Jackson) Duggan.
These two baptisms are supporting evidence that Colonel George Duggan had a brother Thomas Duggan as hinted at in the letter from George Herrick Duggan of October 4, 1940 to Gordon R Duggan.

JOSEPH DUGGAN is a native of this city, and a York Pioneer, having been born in 1832, and was a son of Thomas Duggan, a native of Ireland, who came to Canada in 1827, and died in Toronto in 1854. Mr. Joseph Duggan in 1851 commenced business at the corner of King and Princess Streets. In 1872 he bought a farm on Kingston Road, on which he erected an hotel. This he carried on for two years, afterwards renting it, and built the beautiful homestead where he now resides, known as Woodbine Park. He subsequently built the hotel on the race track, called the Woodbine Park Club-house, which he occupied for four years; he then retired to the homestead, which he has again rented, and is now living at 539 Church Street, Toronto.

Thomas married.
