| Notes |
- Jonathan Ogden was born in Port Tobacco, Maryland where he lived until about 1802. At this time his eldest son William Rhody had visited Harrison County, Virginia and found that the land was plentiful and available. William induced his father and brother Thomas to come to Harrison County. Jonathan and his son Thomas acquired 100 acres of land in Harrison County in 1804. Eventually all of Jonathan’s children except Samuel moved to Harrison County.
Jonathan married Anne Howell, daughter of Paul Howell and Mary Moreland about 1766. Jonathan and Anne had ten children. One daughter died at an early age and one son remained in Maryland.
Jonathan served as a private in the Maryland militia of the Continental army. In 1777 he was in Capt. Benjamin Cawood’s Company, Charles County, Maryland 26th Battalion. In 1778, the state of Maryland took a census and oath of allegiance for all males over 18 years and Jonathan appears in the Port Tobacco East Hundred census and the roster of those who took the oath.
Jonathan died in the spring of 1808. His will of August 13, 1807 was proved in the April 1808 Harrison County Court. The land where he is buried is the land that he and his son Thomas purchased from Andrew and Lydia Snyder in 1804. Two generations of his descendants are buried here, his son Thomas and grandson William with their wives and some children.
