Where is Buggan? It is West South West of Derrygonnelly in Co. Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, not far from Knockmore and East of Rossinure More in the Parish of Devenish.
Much information has been written about this branch of the Dundas family. Most of it in the "The Descendants of William and John Dundass" book written by Sanders, Styles and Gower.
I did a couple of electronic searches of documents I have on the word "Buggan" in the book and previous research at the Public Records Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI).
In Devenish Parish Baptism Records I see:
James Dundas, bapt. 17 March 1811, father John Dundas, mother Susanna Aughenleck, Buggan
John Dundas, bapt. 1813, father John Dundas, mother Susanna Aughenleck, Buggan
Alexander Dundas, bapt.1815, father John Dundas, mother Susanna Auchenleck, Buggan
Sarah Dundas, baptised in 1817, father John Dundas, mother Susanna Auchenleck, Buggan
Alice Dundas, bapt. 19 March 1820, father John Dundas, mother Susanna Auchenleck, Buggan
Susan Dundas, bapt. 15 June 1820, father John Dundas, mother Susanna Auchenleck, Buggan
Elizabeth Dundas, bapt. 1830, father Henry Dundas, mother Mary Miller, Buggan
Sarah Dundas, bapt. 1860, father Alexander, mother Anne Huston, Buggan

Recent information suggests that a Dundas boy sired a son with a Catholic servant girl who worked at Buggan, thus beginning the Catholic branch of Dundas in Derrygonnelly. (Willie Parke>JJ Dundas>Bill Barber).
