Surname Saturday - 3: Ogden

This week's surname is my mother's maiden name. The Ogden's are the Canadians in my ancestry. They were Loyalists who left New York for New Brunswick shortly after the end of the American Revolution. I wrote about my Loyalist ancestors in this post.

There are OGDEN family trees that go for generations and generations back in England. Unfortunately they are all based on "The Ogden Family in America, Elizabethtown Branch, and Their English Ancestry: John Ogden, the Pilgrim and His Descendants, 1640-1906, Their History."This bogus family history is based on work done by the infamous genealogy fraud Gustave Anjou (original name Gustaf Ludvig Ljungberg). According to this book, my ancestor John OGDEN, known as John Ogden of Rye, was the first cousin of John Ogden the Pilgrim. John the Pilgrim has many,many descendants, some of them quite famous. Lord knows if the two men were really related and I am really related to all of these famous people.

Some of the details above are still subject to verification. I'm still not sure about the connections between Robert OGDEN and Jonathon OGDEN and that between 384. John OGDEN and 768. John OGDEN.
