Richard Ogden was born about 1595, a son of Richard Ogden, Senior, of Lees, near Haworth.
In 1627, he was called "Richard Ogden, Ju:" [Junior].
As a young man in Yorkshire, he was not a property owner. He was noted variably in Keighley (1618 — 1619), Bingley (1621 — 1630), West Morton (1632), Hainworth (1634 — 1636) and Bingley (1639), all within a six mile radius of Lees, perhaps as a consequence of his occupation, whether as a tradesman, day laborer or tenant farmer.
He removed to Rippowam, New Haven Colony [Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut] by 1641 with his brother, John Ogden (and probably also his brother-in-law, Thomas Lupton, although there is no record of the latter in Stamford).
Hailing from an area of stone quarries in Yorkshire, John Ogden and Richard Ogden, residents of Stamford, were contracted by the Director General of the [Dutch] West India Company, Willem Kieft, to build a church in the fort at New Amsterdam, New Netherland [Manhattan, New York County, New York] in May 1642 "of cliffstone, seventy-two feet long, fifty-four feet broad [and] sixteen feet high". The Church of Saint Nicholas, completed in 1644, was constructed of rough stone and the exterior walls were clad with oak shingles.
On 7 January 1642/43, Richard Ogden was listed as a rateable in Stamford for his house and land, which included acreage in the East Field near Wescus Cove [Westcott Cove].
Richard Ogden was one of the original 50 proprietors of Heemsteede, New Netherland [Hempstead, Nassau County, New York] in 1644, together with his brother, Mr. John Ogden ("The Pilgrim"). The brothers were only two of at least a dozen town founders originally from Yorkshire.
Little is known about his life in Hempstead between 1644 and 1653, during the period of the "mouse-eaten book" (the first book of records of the Town of Hempstead, now missing; NYG&BR v. 33, p. 187).
On 13 September 1655, Richard Ogden and others from Hempstead were deeded land on Rockaway Neck in Rustdorp, New Netherland (present-day Queens County, New York).
He was later in Huntington, at least as early as 1659, where the last record of his name was made on 8 December 1663, at which point he had already sold his home lot.
He died after 2 April 1667, when Richard Ogden and John Ludlum were ordered to take an inventory of the arms and ammunition by a court held at Jamaica for the North Riding of Yorkshire of Long Island.
If he did not travel across Long Island Sound to live with one of his sons during his final years, he likely would have been buried in "the burying place" in Jamaica (now known as Prospect Cemetery in Jamaica, Queens County, New York) circa 1669.
