"SAMUEL EDISON, JR. (Samuel, Sarah Ogden, Samuel, Swaine, David, John), b. Aug. 16, 1804; d. Feb. 26, 1896; 1st m. Sept. 12, 1828, NANCY ELLIOTT, b. Jan. 4, 1820; d. Apr. 9, 1871; 2d m. MARY SHARLOW, b. Feb. 12, 1854.
SAMUEL EDISON, JR, came of good old Dutch stock, his ancestry being traced back for 200 years, when they were extensive millers in Holland. Members of the family emigrated to America in 1730, and settled in New Jersey and on Manhattan Island. One Thomas Edison was a prominent banker in New York during the Revolution, and his name appears on the Continental money of that period. The Edisons are a long-lived family, and of strong, athletic build. SAMUEL EDISON, JR., was 6 ft. 2 in. in height, and in 1868, when 64 yrs. old, outjumped 250 men belonging to a regiment stationed at Ft. Gratiot, Mich. His father lived to be 98 yrs. of age, and his grandfather died at 102.
SAMUEL EDISON, JR., was born in Digby, Nova Scotia, his father's family having moved from New Jersey when the father, Samuel, Sr., was a lad. In early life SAMUEL, JR., removed to Canada, where he remained until the rebellion of 1838; he then removed to Michigan, and lived in Detroit one year, subsequently going to Ohio, where he lived until 1852. Thence he returned to Michigan and took up a permanent residence at Port Huron. He had learned the tailor's trade, but later entered commercial life, and engaged consecutively in the grain, comission, lumber, nursery, and land businesses. He was associated with Mr. G. W. Halfman, a chemist, in the manufacture of laundry and toilet soaps, baking powders, flavoring extracts, etc., their manufactory being known as the "Fidelity Chemical Works." He was a man of fertile resources and of great energy of character; hence he readily obtained a competency. Besides, he was a man of much intelligence, and for many years held the office of a magistrate.
...
His advanced age finally brought its attendant weakness, and while en route to Ft. Myers, Fla., his son's winter residence, he died at the home of his niece, Mrs. Poyen, at Norwalk, O. He was buried at Port Huron, Mich., his old home.
NANCY (Elliott) EDISON, his wife, was of Scotch descent, and was a native of Chenango Co., N. Y. She was well educated, and for several years taught in a Canadian high school. "She was an industrious, capable, literary and ambitious woman."

SWAINE OGDEN was born in Newark, N. J., in which place his parents had spent all their married life, but he first appears upon record at Hackensack, N. J., where he married a Dutch lady, and where nearly all of his children were born and baptized. The baptismal register of the old Dutch Church at Hackensack would indicate that he returned to Newark or vicinity after his son Nathaniel was baptized in 1722. Four other children were added to the family, the youngest of whom was John, who was baptized at the Dutch Church in Belleville, a suburb of Newark, in 1729. The records of 1727 speak of him as "SWAIN OGDEN of Newark." On May 4th of that year he is sued for L100 by one James Rogers, and gives bond for L200. At the April term of court in Newark, 1729,m SWAINE OGDEN and others were appointed overseers for Newark.
His residence was probably near Orange, as he and his family were buried in the old cemetery in that place ...

MARY ACKERMAN, wife of SWAINE OGDEN, belonged to a Dutch family, and in that language was called "Maritie" (or "Marytje") "Ackermans." She was dau. of "Davidt Ackermans" and "Hillegondt Ver Planck." The baptismal register of the old Dutch church of Hackensack, N. J., records her husband's name as "Swaen Hockdon" and "Swaen Ockdon." Their fourth child is called "Hillegondt," the Dutch for our "Huldah."
Their tombstones in the old cemetery at ORagne, corner Main and Scotland streets, bear the following epitaphs:
