     Pvt JOHN OGDEN [Og365] Ogden Family pp 147-8:

"JOHN OGDEN (Nathaniel, Joseph, Joseph, John), b. ____; will dated Feb. 6, 1803, proved Mar. 9, 1803. 1st m. PRUDENCE ROLFE; 2d m. ANN (Nevins) VAN SICKLE. John Ogden lived in or near New Brunswick, N. J." [followed by a list of 13 children with dates and spouses].

See text for his spouse Ann Nevius for further information about her (including the correct spelling apparently of her surname) and their marriage.

NJ Calendar of Wills, 1801-1805, p 335:

"1803, Feb. 6. Ogden, John, of the Northward of New Brunswick, Middlesex Co.: will of. Wife, Ann, the property she brought with her; also to be provided for, while my widow. 60 acres to be sold for the support of children. Daughter, Mercy Obart, 1 1/2 acre of meadow below ye saw-mill. Son, Benjamin and daughter, Phebe, each L10. Wife's daughter, Eufany, L10. Residue of real and personal to be equally divided among my children [not named]. Executors - son, Benjamin Ogden, and Jonathan Combs. Witnesses - William Ryder, Jacob Dunham, Jonathan Combs. Proved Mar. 9, 1803. Lib. 40, p. 247.

1803, Feb. 24. Inventory, $550.06: made by William Ryder and Garline Ockerman. File 9990 L."

"Northward" above means "North Ward". See below.

NJ Rateables, Middlesex Co, New Brunswick, North Ward, April 1779 and June 1780, p 25-7:

"(Benjamin Ogden hh)
...
David Ogden hh (tavern)
...
James Ogden 200; 3h, 13c, 4p (2h, 8c, 9p)
...
John Ogden 100; 4c (hh only)"

This places the four brothers in New Brunswick, Benjamin for the latter date only (Jun 1780) and the other three on both dates (Apr 1779 and Jun 1780).

Apparently JOHN and brother Benjamin were Privates in the NJ Militia. Stryker has the following under State Troops and Militia, Privates, pp 706-7:

"OGDEN, BENJAMIN. Middlesex.
...
OGDEN, JOHN. Middlesex."

This is not much to go on, and I have no corroborating evidence that these are indeed our Benjamin and JOHN but time and place indicate so. The NARA has Revolutionary War service records for Pvt Benjamin Ogden and for both a Lt John Ogden and a Pvt JOHN OGDEN (making an assumption based on slim evidence). Here is JOHN's; see Pvt Benjamin for his.

This implies that there was both a Lt and a Pvt John Ogden present at the same time.

Middlesex Co Gravestones, p 143:

"Obert, Peter*; wife Mercy, dau. of John & Prudence Ogden. Stone broken, portion with death date and age could not be found.
...
Ogden, John*; wife Prudence*; dau. Mercy, see Peter Obert."

[The asterisks represent, apparently, unreadable parts of the stones.] JOHN was born circa 1743.⁵ He married PRUDENCE ROLFE circa 1775.⁶ He resided at New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, in April 1779, North Ward.³ He resided at New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, in June 1780, North Ward.³ He married Ann Nevius at New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, on 4 August 1802.^1,7,8 He made a will at New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, on 6 February 1803.^9,10 His body was interred at South Brunswick Twp, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, at Obert Family Burying Ground.¹¹ JOHN's will was probated at Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, on 9 March 1803.^12,10

     PRUDENCE was born. She See Ogden Family text for husband John Ogden. She married Pvt JOHN OGDEN [Og365] circa 1775.² Her body was interred at South Brunswick Twp, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, at Obert Family Burying Ground.³

     He married MASSIE PARR.³

     She married DAVID SERVISS.²

     Ann was born. She Ogden Family, p 147:

"JOHN OGDEN ... 2d m. ANN (Nevins) VAN SICKLE."

Wheeler uses the notation NAME (Surname) SURNAME to mean woman Miss NAME Surname married Mr SURNAME and widowed by him. (See for example p 99 for MARY (Reading) GRAY dau of Daniel Reading and widow of Arthur Gray.

One of the few places where I can correct Wheeler is in Ann's surname at birth. It was Nevius, not Nevins, I am sure. Nevius was a common surname in New Brunswick, Middlesex Co, NJ at the time, as was Van Sickle. And we have the following marriage record for her and JOHN OGDEN:

Marriages Performed by Rev Joseph Clark, Middlesex Co, 1797-1813, pp 92-3:

"1802
...
John Ogden to Ann Nevius, N. B., Aug. 4"
[N. B. = New Brunswick]

There are three other Van Sickles and one other Nevius on this same page (p 93), probably marriages of brothers and sisters or other close kin.

I am also able to add the date of their marriage to Wheeler, 4 Aug 1802. This is consistent with John and Prudence having their last child 6 Jul 1800. She married (?) Sickle.³ She married Pvt JOHN OGDEN [Og365] at New Brunswick, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, on 4 August 1802.^4,5,2

     Mary was born on 5 May 1776.^1,2 Mary died on 28 December 1778 at age 2.^3,2

"Obert, Peter*; wife Mercy, dau. of John & Prudence Ogden. Stone broken, portion with death date and age could not be found.

Ogden, John*; wife Prudence*; dau. Mercy, see Peter Obert." Mercy was born on 25 December 1777.^3,2 As of 27 October 1798,her married name was Obert [Og1041].^4,2,5 She married Peter Obert on 27 October 1798.^4,2,5 Mercy died on 6 October 1815 at age 37.¹ Her body was interred at South Brunswick Twp, Middlesex, New Jersey, USA, at Obert Family Burying Ground.²
