"John Ogle, the soldier, who arrived in New Castle, Delaware, in 1664."

(Revised March 2003)  JOHN OGLE, IMMIGRANT

In a letter from William Penn to the Duke of York, John Ogle was called “one Ogle who came with Captain Carr” on the British expedition which captured Delaware from the Dutch in 1664.  In 1672, John Ogle was called “soldier at New Castle.”  He said he was “32 years old or thereabouts” in an affidavit almost certainly signed in 1680 (New York Historical Manuscripts, Delaware Papers: English, p. 362, reads “Sworne the 27th of Agust (sic) 1680,” but Francis H. Hibbard stated that the original document did not show the year next to the affidavit, but did show the year 1680 on the obverse). In 1673 he was addressed as “you, John Ogle, are an Englishman.” In 1684 he was called by his widow, Elizabeth, “my late husband John Ogle” in disposing of the 1000 acres of land he owned at his death, which occurred between 8 December 1683 and 8 February 1683/4 (equates to 1684 using current calendar reckoning).

Colonial records, especially of Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware, have been searched diligently by genealogists, researchers, professional and lay historians, in efforts to prove, beyond any doubt, John Ogle’s date of birth, date of death, parentage, date of marriage, and wife’s maiden name. Numerous theories and suggestions have evolved over the years regarding these important events in John Ogle’s life. During the period 1999-2001, the Editorial Board of the Association, along with others, under the direction of O/OFA president, George W. Ogles, reviewed every document and scrap of information known to exist which relate to John Ogle, the immigrant, and to other events in the history of the Ogle family in early Colonial America. This review is a continuing process, and the Editorial Board welcomes information, observations, and analyses from any individual or group concerning the early history of the Ogle family in America."
