The above marriage is recorded at East Hampton, L. I. It agreeswithrecord in an old Bible owned by Mrs. Cortland Drake of Mendham, N. J., and which was doubtlessthefamily Bible of "Good Old John1." It descended to John77 through his gr. father Jonathan4, sonofJohn1. On a blank page at the beginning of the Book of Psalms is written "Jonathan Ogden, hisbook1697." In another place " John Ogden son of Jonathan Ogden Dec'd His Bible given him byhisgrandfather Ogden in the year 1724." At the end of Revelations is "Nov. 9 1642, my son[nameunreadable] was born by gods providence." This birthdate is probably that of his son Joseph,--atallevents proving that this rare old Bible printed in 1599 was once the property of John Ogden.
