The Nugent surname is of Norman origin and came to Ireland in the 1100s from France. Their name was de Nogent from a place name in France and they trace back to 930. They settled in Cos. Meath and Westmeath. This is the usual origin of Nugents in Ireland today but some Gilsenans of Meath and Cavan adopted Nugent as their surname. In the Irish language it was Nuinseann.
Yes, a daughter, Nancy. As I remember it, the Nugents lived in an apartment on East 57th Street at First Avenue in Manhattan. Nancy was a friend of mine. She had two small children, a boy and a girl, in the early 1960s. She gave me some of their hand-me-downs for my daughter who was younger than her children. She also invited me to be her guest at a party given by her parents at their apartment. Both her parents were very gracious to me and the party was delightful. At the time, Nancy lived in a large apartment on the upper West side of Manhattan. She liked to give parties too. She was divorced. I don't remember her married name. I don't remember if she ever mentioned having any brothers or sisters in the family when she was growing up...
