| 10458 | West Virginia Estate Settlments (Will): Jonathan Ogden 8-13-1807 Wife Ann, Sons Thomas, Samuel, William and Nathan, daughters Mary Robey, Tobitha, Sarah Martin, Susannah Bigler, and Nancy Richardson named in Will. The History of West Virginia, Old and New Published 1923, The American Historical Society, Inc., Chicago and New York, Volume II, Page 247 Marshall W. Ogden, a vital and representative member of the bar of Marion County, is engaged in the successful practice of his profession in the City of Fairmont, the county seat. He was born at Prospect Valley, Harrison Co., this state January 26,1873, and is the son of Van Buren and Marcy (Talkington) Ogden. In assured genealogical records of lineage of the American branch of the Ogden family tree traces back to Maryland and its early settlement. At Port Tobacco in that commonwealth we find Jonathan Ogden, who from liberal research of genealogical records is believed to be a lineal descendant of John Ogden, the Pilgrim, who came to America in 1640from England and settled on the southern shore of Long Island. Jonathan Ogden married Jane Howell, daughter of Paul and Mary Howell. of Howell's Delight, Maryland. Among his ten children was a son, Thomas, born September 30, 1775, who married Elizabeth Moore at Port Tobacco in1793, and with his family, including his father, mother and eight of his brothers and sisters, came to what is now West Virginia and settlesnear Enterprise in Harrison Co., where he became a successful trader and accumulated an appreciable estate. His father and mother are buried in the Hardesty Cemetery at that place. The Barnes, Richardson, Martin, Robey and Bigler families of the Upper Monongahela Valley can trace their ancestry to the daughters of Jonathan Ogden. Nathan Ogden, sonof Thomas, was born in Harrison Co., near Enterprise, June 14,1811. He married Jane Duncan. of Prospect Valley, and settled in that neighborhood. He became prominently identified with early lumbering operations in that section, and as owner and operator of a water power sawmill he shipped lumber,cereals and other products down the Monongahela River in flat boats to market. Van Buren, son of Nathan Ogden and father of the subject of this review, was born November 27, 1837, became a skilled blacksmith and followed his trade until 1873, when he engaged in the mercantile business with Benjamin W. Harbert at Prospect Valley, and after eight years of successful business their store was destroyed by fire. Hethen turned his attention to farm enterprises, though in later years hethen engaged in mercantile pursuits. He was appointed postmaster at that place by President Grant, which position he held until 1904, when the post office was abolished and placed on rural free delivery. Hemarried September 29, 1864, Marcy E., daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth W. (Hartley) Talkington, pioneer residents of Marion Co., nearMannington. Though born on the 27th day of February. 1835, Mrs. Ogden is still in fair health.Van Buren Ogden died January 26, 1911, known as a business man of ability and as a sterling citizen well worthy of the popular esteem which was ever accorded to him. Of the children the following brief record is available: Savilla A., born January 28,1866, married G.D. Shreve on June 30, 1887, and she died June 4, 1889, their only child, Goff D., having died in April of that year of the first anniversary of his birth. William B., born April 13, 1869 , married,May 16, 1893, Miss Lilly Weekly, and to them have been born fivechildren, Paul G., born December 15, 1895, married May Matthews; Ira D., bornJuly 25, 1897, married Blanch Hildreth; William F., born October 12,1899; Zabell Flora, born March 6,1905; and Oran Maxin, their youngest son. Marshall W., the subject of this review, was the next in order ofbirth of the children od Van Buren and Marcy E. Ogden. Emma Z. born August 24,1874, was united in marriage to James D. Robinson, December 21,1893, to which union was born two children, David W., born July 12, 1895, married Willa R. Robinson, and they have one child, Virginia Lee; and Vera M., born November 11,1900. After completing the cirriculumn of the public schools and teaching two years therein at Prospect Valley, Marshall W. Ogden continued his studies in the State Normal School at Fairmont, and in 1897 graduated from the law departmtent of the University of West Virginia. His admission to the bar was virtually coincident with the reception ofthe degree of Bachelor of Laws, and he forthwith opened an office at Fairmont as partner with Ross A. Watts, which partnership wascontinued until 1901, when the same was dissolved by mutual agreement, sincewhich time he has continued in the successful practice of law, and hassecured status as one of the able and successful members of the Marion Co.bar. He was for two years acting president of the Marion Co. BarAssociation, and is an active member of the West Virginia Bar Association. He is a loyal advocate and supporter of the principals of the republicanparty, but the only elective office which he has consented to hold was as member of the City Counsil. He and his family are affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was president of its Business Men's Bible Class in 1919-1920. On the 16th day of June, 1901, was solemized the marriage of Mr. Ogden and Lelia, daughter of Thomas and Amanda Hawker, she having been born in Harrison Co., February 25,1878.

Conkey Company, 341 Dearborn Street. Chicago, Illinois. 1895. [Excerpt from this book]: July 20, 1592, John Whitney was baptized in the St. Margaret's Church London. He was son of Thomas, who was grandson or great-grandson of the last Sir Robert Whitney. In 1635 with his wife, Eleanor, and five children he embarked for America. Here he settled in Watertown, where he continued to reside the remainder of his life. His sons settledeither in Watertown or towns near it. His grandson, Nathaniel, settled in the western part of Watertown, which is now Weston. John Whitney and Elinor (--?--) emigrated in Apr 1635 fromIpswich,Suffolk, in the "Elizabeth and Ann," Roger Cooper, master. Listed areJohnWhitney, aged 35; wife Ellin aged 30; sons John aged 11, Richard aged9,Nathaniel, aged 8, Thomas aged 6, and Jonathan aged 1 year. He and Elinor (--?--) immigrated in Jun 1635 to Boston, Suffolk, MA. [Excerpt] John Whitney, Puritan Emigrant. By Henry Melville, Esq. He was the first of the name in America, and the son of ThomasWhitney, "gentleman," of Westminster, by his wife, Mary Bray, and was baptized in St. Margaret's, the parish church standing in the shadow of thefamous Abbey, on the 20th day of July, 1592. Thomas was not a native of the city of his residence, but had comefrom one of the oldest and most distinguished families in the west ofEngland, the Whitneys of Whitney, where, on the banks of the Wye, the crumbling ruins of their ancestral castle could still be seen survivingcenturiesof border warfare. His uncle, Sir James, knighted by Queen Elizabeth at Winsor in 1570, was lord of Whitney, Clifford, Pencombe, OclePitchard, Kings Capell, Boughrid, Tremayne, Icomb, Clifton and Comwich, and sheriff of Herefordshire; his grandfather, Sir Robert, knighted byQueen Mary in 1553, represented that county in parliament, and from thelatter could be traced back a long knightly line of Whitneys and De Whitneys to the twelfth century, when the name originated, and, beyond them, Norman ancestors, with other names even to the conquest. One or more of his forefathers had gone on a crusade to the HolyLand,one had fought under Edward I. in the Scotch war of 1301, another hadtwice represented Richard II. abroad in important affairs of state and hadbeen slain "at the capture of Edmund Mortimer," a fourth had followed HenryV. in the triumphs of English arms in France, a fifth had risked landandlife for the "White Rose" and had had his praises sung by the Welsh bard, Glyn Cothi, and nearly every one had been sheriff of his shire and had satinthe great national council. They quartered on their shields the armsofMilbourne. Eynesford, Furnival, Verdon, Lovetot, Baskerville, Boteler,Rees,Lienthall, Le Gros, Bredwardine, Sollers, Brugge and Blackett, and their marriage alliances had been, almost without exception, with families whosenames are great in history, through at least two of which Thomas couldclaimblood relationship to royalty from William the Conquerer to Edward I. The family name, Whitney, or, as originally written, De Whitney,wasderived from the name of the parish where the castle stood. Aluard, a Saxon,heldthe land before the Conquest, but at the time of the "Domesday Survey,"1086 A. D., it was "waste" with no owner, save the King as paramount lord.

Mr. Johnson has little to say of early day hardships, but does tellofone amusing Indian experience, which occurred one time theJohnson,Wishek and several other families were visiting at Fort Yates. It seems that while they were there Chief Sitting Bull rode up onhishorse. For a joke, Mr. Wishek handed Mr. Johnson up to the famouschief,who held him on his lap. However, Mr. Johnson’s father, who hadnever hadany great love for Indians, made such a fuss about it thatSitting Bullwas glad to return the boy to his father’s arms. Another interesting incident of Mr. Johnson’s childhood occurred whenheand another boy fastened their hand sleds on the back of a teamdrawnsled and rode out near the George Bender farm. On their return trip they rested one knee on the sled, pushed withtheirfree foot and started across the prairie, with Mr. Johnsonfollowing hisfriend. He looked up and couldn’t see his friend but kept following thetracks,and all of a sudden plopped down into a hole right beside hisfriend, andthe two boys found themselves in a farmer’s cow barn. Snow was so deep they had started across the covered barn and thenfallenthrough the roof. The farmer finished milking, gave them somefood andthen took them to town, where both boys "got what was comingto them"from their Dads. | Johnson, Wilbur L. (I31085)
