Miller.

Ogden Bros. and their Descendents: According to Willingham, an article in the Ct. Nutmegger p 332 claims that there is no Bradley Plain in Hampshire, and that the connections past this point in the Ogden family were forgeries, perpetrated by an English genealogist.

The Ogden Family: The first mention of John Ogden is a grant to him of the tract know as Shinnecock Hill, on Long Island, which adjoined Southampton on the west, Apr. 17, 1640.

"A contract was drawn up in May, 1642, setting forth an agreement between Governor William Kieft, Gisbert op Dyck, and Thomas Willet, of New Amsterdam, Church-wardens, to build a stone church in the fort, 72 X 50 ft. and 16 ft. above the soil, for the sum of 2500 guilders (about $1000) to be paid in cash, beaver, or other merchandise; if the work was done "in a workmanlike manner" 100 extra guilders were to be paid the contractors, John Ogden and his brother Richard, both of Stamford, Conn. It was stipulated that the latter should be allowed the use of the company's boat to ferry the stone ashore near the fort, the and furnish the lime with which to lay them...The Indian Wars retarded the building of the church, which was not finished in 1645, but in due time the steep, double pointed roof arose over the walls of the fort....

"...During 1644, John Ogden and several of the [Stamford] settlers decided to try their fortunes under the Dutch government on Long Island, and accordingly removed and located at Hempstead. In order to acquire certain rights...they made application to Gov. Wm. Kieft at New Amsterdam, who issued to them a patent to 'the Great Plains.'...:

"Nov. 1, 1644. William Kieft, the Dutch Governor of New Netherlands, sells to Rev. Robert Fordham, John Stricklan, John Ogden, John Karman, John Lawrence and Jonas Wood...: a certain tract of land upon and about a place called the Great Plains on Long Island from the East River to the South Sea, and from a certain harbour commonly called Hempstead Bay and westward as far as Matthew Garritson's Bay, to begin at the head of the said two Bays and run in direct lines that they may be the same latitude in breadth on the South side as on the North side..." This included the right to build "a Temple or Temples to use and exercise their reformed religions which they possess.'

"He resided at Hempstead but a few years, becoming much dissatisfied with the treatment which the Dutch government accorded the Indians...he removed to the eastern end of Long Island to dwell among his own countrymen. In 1647 he obtained permission of the Southampton authorities to plant a colony of six families at "North Sea" (Great Peconic Bay) about three miles north of Southampton. Two or three years elapsed before his removal and planting of his colony at North Sea, which later was called Northampton.

"One of the enterprises which engaged the attention of John Ogden was whaling, an industry in which he was interested a slate as 1688....under date of Jan. 3, 1650, 'It is ordered at the saide generall court that Mr. Iohn Ogden Senior of Northampton shall have free liberty without interruption from the inhabitants of Southampton to kill whales vpon the South sea [Ocean] at or within any part of the bounds of the saide towne for the space of seaven yeares next ensueing the date hereof and in that space noe liberty shall be granted to any by the saide inhabitants to any other person or persons to kill or strike any within the bounds of the saide towne...but yf the saide Iohn Ogden doe not kill in design a whale or whales within the space of two yeares after the date hereof then his liberty is annulled...

"On Aug. 21, 1654, the above-said liberty is given to 'Mr. Odell and Mr. Ogden and their company...Under the date Sept. 3, 1650...'It is granted...that Mr. Ogden and his company shall have Cow Neck and Iefferies Neck for their owne proper right, also that they shall have for their planteing land in either or both of said necks three hundred 24 acres, provided they settle vpon it and vpon the same grant the meadow betwixt the brooke by the Sachems house and Hogneck spring, for their proper right, provided it bee a mile from the sea side...

"John Ogden was made Freeman at Southampton, Mar. 31, 1650..." and was elected Magistrate 7 October 1650 and 6 Oct. 1651 and Oct. 6, 1659, Oct. 6, 1661. "'Mar. 10, 1651, an action of trespass by Richard Mills of Southampton against Iohn Ogden, Sr., defendant.' and vice verse the same date. "'Mar. 11, 1651 jury find for Mr. Iohn Ogden in both actions, assessing Mr. Mills 40 s. damage...'" On the same day, John entered an action of trespass aginst Iohn Cooper of Southampton, who lost, appealed, and lost again. On Feb. 25, 1652, an action of debt was filed against John in behalf of Mr. Robert Scott of Boston; this was settled by arbitration. April 4, 1654, he and Jonas Wood were appointed to appraise the estate Of Wm. Paine. April 15, 1656, "'Mr. Ogden acknowledgeth yt Mr Odell his lotment in Sagaponack devision belongeth to him.'" March 6, 1657, John and 5 other men were chosen to arbitrate a land dispute. "Apr. 30, 1657, John Ogden was named as one of forty men who were to have 'half a pound of powder a peece delivered unto ye undernamed persons out of ye magazen.'" June 2, 2657, he and Edward Howell were to "adjudge unlawful cattle and horses in the ox pasture and turn them out" and to judge if the fence be defective.

"June 5, 1657, "'Iohn Ogden hath bought of Samuel Dayton his house and home lot and five acres in the ten acre lotts, and 4 in coopers neck, and two acres more in another place also he bouyht the meddow belonging to it.' Jan. 1, 1658 he was granted that part of swamp lying against his lot "'in Coopers lott.'" John and Samuel Clark were appointed administrators of Mark Meggs' estate. At auction he bought 4 "'shotes'" at 2-4-0, two yearling bulls and a calf at 5-10-6, and two ewes, 2 lambs and half of a calf at 5-16-0. Ogden and Clark were handed the proceeds of the sale in payment of Meggs' debt.

May 12, 1659 he received a deed from Wyandanch Sachem of paumanicke or Long Island a tract of land beginning at the western end of Southampton bounds, Northwards to the water of the bay and to the creeks of accabaucks, Westward to pehecannacke and Southerly to potuncke for "'a considerable price'".

John sat in the General Court as Representative from Southampton in May, 1659 and in the Upper House May 1661. May 25, 1659, he sold to Ellis Cooke and Isaac Willman two acres at Sagaponack. Nov 25, 1659, at Town Meeting he was chosen as one of twelve to regulate the town papers and writings, Nov. 29, 1659, he contracted to put a floor and seating on the meeting house for £6. Feb. 17, 1661, he was in charge of laying out land granted unto Northsea inhabitants.

In a transaction of May 12, 1663, he was said to be of Feversham or Bridgehampton. Mar. 1, 1663, he sold to Ellis Cooke some land at Mecocks.

John Ogden began to dispose of his real estate in 1664. "The Southampton records, under date of Apr. 22, 1664, give the first recorded dealings with his cousin, John Ogden of Rye, and read as follows:

"Iohn Ogden of this town [Southamton] doth acknowledge to have sold and delivered to his uncle [cousin] Mr. Iohn Ogden, his houseing and home lot with all the land lying at the reare thereof, and allsoe his fifteene accres lying at the Long Springs, and alsoe the priveledges to a fifty pound lot."

"April 25, 1664. 'Christopher ffoster & Henry Pierson are appoynted to lay out the land between ye neighbors about Iohn Ogden in ye rear devision.'

"Sept. 7, 1665. 'Mr. Iohn Ogden [of Rye doth acknowledge that what land or houseing or priveledges thereto belonging which he bought of hi cousin Iohn Ogden, hee ye said Mr. Ogden did make over all the same vnto his sone in law Iohn Woodruff, that it became his.'

"Under same date: 'Iohn Woodruff Iun doth acknowledge to have souls and delivered to Robert Woolley all that housing and land and priveledges thereto belonging which Mr. Iohn Ogden procured of Iohn Ogden of Southampton, and ye said Mr. Ogden made over vnto him ye said John Woodruff, ye said bargain being vpon Record in this book.'

"The final disposal of his properties at North Sea (Northampton) and at Southamton, as shown by the following entries, closes up his Long Island affairs:

"Sept. 6, 1665. 'Mr. Iohn Ogden doth acknowlwdge to have imparted sould made over and delivered all his land lying neere the north sea howses, in that place comonly called the field by the Clay pits, (except ye quantity of two poles all along by the ditch side therein to digg, or delve it to the ditch vnto Iohn Rose of ye said north sea, him his heyres and assings for ever. As also hee ye said Mr. Iohn Ogden hath sould and delivered one peece of meadow of his lying in Cow neck vnto him the said Iohn Rose the said madow being bounded by Thomas Shaw his meadow on the west side and ye said Iohn Rose his meadow on the northward side. And this is for consideration in hand received by him ye said Mr. Iohn Ogden of him the said Iohn Rose...'

"Sept. 8, 1666. John Ogden sells to John Langston a 50 of commonage.

"Nov. 2, 1667. 'Know all ye men by these presents that whereas I iohn Ogden of Elizabeth Towne in New Jersey take myself to have true right and title to one hundred acres of meadow ground or salt marsh lying on ye side of a bay commonly called Peaconnet or Pehickoneck next or towards Southampton lands, and also whereas formerly I have given and granted all my right in and title to ye said meadows vnto the said town of Southampton on Long Island (my said right being derived from Wyandance Sachem of Meantauket), I doe hereby assume and confirme vnto the said towne my whole Interest in the premises, they and their assigns or successors to have & hold ye same forever, from mee and my heirs or assigns or from what I have done or may doe in my name may cause to bee done. (signed) Iohn Ogden.

"It is presumed that John Ogden, with other English settlers, after spending about 14 years on Long Island, saw greater possibilities of material advancement by transferring their interests to New Jersey. The preliminary step was the securing of a patent from Gov. Nicholls, of that province. 'Hatfield's History of Elizabeth' is our chief authority for the further record of John Ogden's public life and doings.

"In the Elizabeth Town Patent, granted December 1, 1664, by Gov. Richard Nicholls under His Royal Highness ye Duke of York, he names as patentees, 'Capt. John Baker of new Yorke, John Ogden of Northampton, John Baily and Like watson of Jemaico on Long Island and their Associates their heir Execurs adminrs and assigns the said parcell of Land Bounded on the South By a River commonly called the Raritans River- On the East by ye sea wch partes Staten Island and the main, to Run Northwards up after cull Bay Till you come to the first River wch sets westwards out of ye sd bay. And To Run west Into the Countrey Twice the Length of the Breadth thereof from the North To the South of the aforementioned Bounds.' The patentees were to pay yearly rental to the Duke of York, open the newly-acquired tract of land for settlers at once, who are first to ask the liberty of doing so of the patentees. Said settlers were to be assured of all priveleges secured to other English colonists.

"The integrity of John Ogden and his associates is shown by the fact that they first secured the consent of habitation from the Indians and bought the Elizabeth Town tract of them Oct. 25, 1664, a month before the patent was granted by the English Governor. The final payment of 'four hundred fathom of white wampom was acknowledged Nov. 24, 1665, this payment becoming due a year after entry upon the tract. Appended to the Indian deed is the following receipt: 'Received of john Ogden in part of the above specified foure hundred feet of wampum I say Received one hundred fathom of wampum by mee the 18 of August 1665.' The Sachems who signed the deed were Mattano, Sewak Herones, and Warinanco, of Staten Id...

"John Ogden was the first of 65 men who took the oath of allegiance to King Charles II on Feb. 19, 1665. Among them were his sons John Jr., David, and Jonathan. His younger sons took the oath later upon coming to their majority.

"He was settled upon the Elizabeth Town tract as early as the first of Aug. 1665, and increased his holdings that year by buying the rights in the tract held by Daniel and Nathaniel Denton. His house was doubtless located on Point road, now Elizabeth Ave...

John was appointed Justice of the Peace by Gov. Carteret Oct. 16 1665 and on November 1, 1665 made him a member of his council, or Deputy Governor. He also became one of only three men entitled to control and convey property within the sale of Indian land and within Nicholl's patent. "To this end the Town Meeting voted them ' the one moiety or half part' of their purchased possession, the consideration expressed in the deed being £80 sterling, which more than reimbursed the Associates for their original outlay.

"The boundary line between Elizabethtown and Newark needed adjustment, and John Ogden, Sr., Luke Watson, Robert Bond, and Jeffry Jones were selected to meet the commissioners from Newark to establish the line. They met for this purpose, May 2, 1668...'Mr. John Ogden...prayed among the people, and returned thanks for their loving agreement.'

"In the legislature constituted at Elizabethtown May 26, 1668, John Ogden was chosen as one of the Burgesses. In order to carry on his improvements, or to cancel previous obligations, he borrowed, Oct. 9, 1668, of Cornelius Steenwick, a wealthy merchant, and Mayor of the City of New York, £191 5s., 'one fourth part thereof in good drie Ox hides at 6 stivers pr pound dutch weight One fourth part in good merchantable Tobacco at 4 stivers pr pound like weight and one fourth part in Good Corn fed fat Pork well pakt in casks and delivered at New Yorke at Three Pounds ten Shillings pr Barrell.' As security, he mortgaged, Apr. 29, 1669, 'a Certain Water Mill now in my Tenure or Occupation, near unto the Mansion or Dwelling House Of Gov. Carterett in Elizabeth Towne.'

"This mill was located on Broad street immediately west of the stone bridge, and south of the Presbyterian Church. The mill, and the dam across the creek just above, were doubtless constructed by John Ogden, Sr.

"At this time whales were abundant on all the coast, and a whaling company was organized at Elizabethtown, which obtained a charter from the Government Feb. 15, 1669, granting to 'John Ogden, senr., Caleb Carwithy, Jacob Moleing [Melyen], Wm. Johnson, and Jeffry Jones, all of Elizabeth Town and their companie consisting of 21 persons 'the exclusive right, for three years, of taking wales along the coast from Barnegat to the eastern part of the province, one twentieth part of the oil, in casks to be given to the Lords Proprietors.

"Gov. Carteret became somewhat imperious in giving away land in Elizabethtown, and at a 'Town Meeting 22 Jan'y 1671, Mr. Treat and Lieut. Swain are deputed, to Take the first opportunity to Advise with Mr Ogden, or any other they see Cause, what may be the Safest and Best Course to be taken for the Town, about our Lands and Settlements here.

"Gov. Carteret and his secretary Wm. Pardon having destroyed the records of the General Assembly of Mar. 26, 1672, they found the atmosphere of the town somewhat dangerous, and fled to Bergen, where, on May 28, the refuge Governor convened a council and issued a Proclamation to the people of Elizabethtown, charging them with attempting to make alterations in the Government, and of a tendency to mutiny and rebellion. Capt. James Carteret, kinsman of the Governor was called upon to preside over the House of Burgesses in Elizabethtown, and issued a warrant for Secretary Wm. Pardon. The warrant was served by constable Meeker, but his prisoner escaped to Bergen. He returned to Elizabethtown to read the Proclamation of Gov. Carteret, and was imprisoned for three weeks. On June 25, a warrant was issued by Justice Ogden requiring Meeker 'forthwith to assemble four men of good report and with them to repair to the said William Pardon's house to attach what movables of his can be found.' The warrant was issued because Pardon, as Secretary of Assembly, had failed to make copy of the laws passed on March 26, and to deliver the laws to the Assembly.

"Gov. John Winthrop, of Connecticut, being personally acquainted with many of the Elizabethtown settlers, wrote, July 2, 1673, to Gov. Sir Geo. Carteret in London, commending the characters and good reputations of the contending settlers, that their cause might be espoused by him. Among those named in Gov. Winthrop's letter was Mr John Ogden.

"The Dutch having retaken New York by force of arms July 30, 1673, and the English colonists having so much trouble with their former Governor, John Ogden and other deputies from Elizabethtown, Newark, Woodbridge, Piscattaway, Middletown, and Shrewsbury, petitioned the Dutch for a hearing, upon which, the latter granted the colonists all their former priveleges. The Dutch Generals and Council of War made John Ogden 'Schout' or Sheriff of the six towns, on Sept. 1, 1673, and on the same day he and Samuel Hopkins were directed to take an inventory of the estate of the late Gov. Carteret.

"On Sept. 7, these two men complained that Robert Lapriere had removed divers goods from the house of Philip Carteret, which he refused to restore, and his arrest was ordered. Schout John Ogden was further ordered to summon James Bollen, 'late Secretary of the Province of New Yersey,' who must give up his papers within ten days under forfeiture of his property. Lapriere and one John Singletary, charged with disobeying commands, were arrested by Shout Ogden and sent to New York. They were examined on the 9th by Council, and four days later, John Ogden being present, they were convicted. Singletary was fined £5 and put on good behavior, and Lapriere, who was Governor General, was convicted of sedition and banished.

"On Sept. 13, 1673, the Dutch Commission returned to New York and reported that on the 11th inst. they had administered the oath of allegiance to the inhabitants of the several towns. They rated 'Elizabethtown' at '80 men,' the first on the list being John Ogden, Sr. On Oct. 1, the Council of War sent instructions to Schout Ogden and the magistrates to preserve public peace and the administration of justice. They required that the Reformed Christian Religion be maintained. Power was given them for 'laying out highways, setting off lands and gardens, and in like manner what appertains to agriculture, observance of the Sabbath, erecting churches, school houses, or similar public works.' Some of the Indians having committed depredations in the neighborhood, 'Mr. Ogden' wrote to Gov. Anthony Cove Sept. 29 [O.S.] for instructions and recorded in reply to a letter dated at 'ffort William Hendrick, 14th Octobr 1673 [N.S.]. In this letter, Gov. Colve requires John Ogden to summon the Indian Sachem before the Governor. 'You are also Required to send hether bij ye first opportunity the armes & other goods according to Inventorij formerlij belonging to ye Late Governrs Carterett, etc.'

"An Assembly, composed of 'the Schout and Magistrates of Achter Kol to make laws and orders' was held at Elizabethtown, commencing Nov. 18, 1673. The ordinances were few and simple, and mostly pertaining to morality and religion. The English settlements had rest for more than a year. 'The people lived on good terms with the authorities at Fort Orange, and were secured in their enjoyment of their lands and privileges. Ogden was virtually Governor of the English towns in New Jersey, and the government was administered very much after the fashion of New England.' But the Dutch rule was soon ended by the treaty of peace signed at Westminster, Eng., Feb. 9, 1674, and all captured territory was mutually restored. The Dutch were superseded by the English at New York the following November.

"Capt. Philip Carteret returned to Elizabethtown from England Nov. 1674, being absent over two years. He came in the same vessel with his kinsman, Col. Edmund Andros, the newly appointed Governor of New York, arriving Oct. 31, 1674. Sir. Geo. Carteret was now sole Proprietor of East Jersey, being confirmed to him by royal mandate June 13th. A new patent for the whole territory was given on June 29th to the Duke of York, by whom East Jersey was reconveyed on the same date to Sir Geo. Carteret, who was to have sole power 'to settle and dispose of the country, upon such terms and conditions as he shall see fit.' This basis of despotic power gave to the Governor full control of the Legislature and deprived the people of all original jurisdiction. The 'Concessions' were reissued July 31st, and on the same day Capt. Philip Carteret was re-commissioned acting Governor.

"He came armed with 'Instructions and Orders' from Sir George, declaring the grants issued the colonists by former Governor Nicholls to be null and void, and requiring all setlers to apply for new surveys and patents. Each settler was required to apply to the Surveyor General between Apr. 1st and May 15, 1675, or his lands and improvements would be declared confiscated. So distasteful was the requirement that only one, a Vanquellin, the Surveyor, applied within the time assigned, and only ten more during the latter half of the year. 'Good old John Ogden' was the very last to make application for a re-survey, and he doubtless did it under protest. It was as late as Oct. 29, 1678...

"Gov. Edmund Andros of New York had previously received a commission, and had been given jurisdiction over all the territory between the Connecticut and Delaware rivers, but the Duke of York waived the claim of Andros to said jurisdiction in his grant to Carteret and Berkeley. But Lord Berkeley having retired from the concern, and Sir George Carteret being dead, Andros wrote to Gov. Philip on Mar. 18, 168, reminding him of his claim, and ordered him to desist from further exercise of authority in New Jersey. Andros next visited Carteret Apr. 7, 168. He demanded the surrender of Carteret, and issued further orders '& one particularly to Mr Ogden then scherif for the surrender of N. Jersey.' The six towns refused to negotiate with Andros, and the Assembly at Elizabethtown, of which 'Old John Ogden' was a member, declared they would not recognize his authority till so ordered by the King.

"The last two years of the earthly record of this unusual man of affairs, patriot, and Christian, are missing...His last will and testament were made Dec. 21, 1681, and he probably died in May, 1682...from 'Hatfield's History of Elizabeth'...'He was called a "malcontent,' and regarded as 'the leading malcontent of Elizabeth Town.'"

John Ogden "of Elizabeth towne" in "new East Jersey" left to "Jaan Ogden my Deare and beloved wife...for above fowerty yeares"..."all my Estate bothe movables and immoveables that is to say houses lands cattles goods and whatever else..." An inventory was made by Humphrey Spinning and John Derent 30 May 1682.
