NOTES:


  1. An entry from the family bible of Daniel Ogden [Jr.] of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania (great-grandson of John Ogden [1625 — 1682]) reads as follows: "Daniel Ogden died November 30, 1819, who was the son of Daniel Ogden, Sr., who was the son of Richard Ogden, who was the son of John Ogden from Yorkshire, England."
  2. He was often referred to posthumously as "John Ogden of Rye" in order to distinguish him from his uncle and contemporary, "John Ogden the Pilgrim" who appears in many of the same records in Connecticut and New York (as "Mr. John Ogden"), but who died in Elizabethtown, Essex County, East Jersey (present-day Elizabeth, Union County, New Jersey).
