Note:  I noticed on Ancestry.com that some claim the date is 7 April 1701, but the source attached to Samuel is wrong.  The parents listed in the attached record were Ephraim Tiffany and Bethia Tosh.  That makes him a cousin to the other Samuel.  Also, it was listed on Findagrave that he was born in 1701, but the headstone itself claims he died in the 81st year of his life - not the 80th.

I'm having issues with this line.  If the birth dates are true with the parents, Edward was more than forty years her junior and Elizabeth was in her mid-40's (supposedly  born in 1680)before she even began having children and wouldn't finish until she was in her 90's.

Jonathan Ogden 1736-1807 Nancy Howell 1740-1825

Jonathan's headstone - wife's name is at bottom

Jonathan Ogden
Born 26 Aug 1736 Port Tobacco, Charles, Maryland, British Colonial America
Parents: John Ogden and Mary Osborn
NOTE on findagrave about parents: "no source or documentation demonstrating this has been found. It is more likely that he was a descendant of either James Ogden or Jonathan Ogden who were transported to Maryland in 1660 and 1680 (see "The New Early Settlers of Maryland" by Dr. Carson Gibb)"

Married Nancy Howell 1766
Died 13 Aug 1807
Buried with his wife (her name is on the bottom of the stone) Ogden Family Graveyard, Worthington, Marion, West Virginia

Note: Dates on headstone (1746-1808) vary from those in Ancestral File. It's unclear if this was an original headstone.

Short history donated to findagrave by Donald F. Hanes, Othello, Wisconsin, but is also available on Family Search

THE JONATHAN OGDEN'S COME TO VIRGINIA 

"In about the mid and late 1700's, the town of Port Tobacco, Maryland was a thriving community of people building new lives for themselves. The area was a world of beautiful plantations from which products, particularly tobacco, were shipped out via the Port Tobacco River to England. Returning ships brought back not only necessities, but also "fancies" to be enjoyed. This was early America's Port Tobacco, a happy and prosperous community. 

Living in this beautiful land was the family of one Jonathan Ogden, consisting of Jonathan, his wife Anne, who had been born and raised at Howell's Delight, one of the fine plantations in the area, and their ten children: Tabitha, William R., Mary, Sarah, Samuel, Nathan, Susannah, Nancy Ann and Elizabeth. Life was good. But years bring change and so they did to Port Tobacco. First, the Revolutionary War, then and probably even more damaging, the river which had been the life blood of the community, began to silt badly, making transportation and shipping almost impossible. Without the river, times declined, causing many to leave the area. Thus, the story of the Ogden family. 

In the late 1790's, William, Jonathan's oldest son, joined a party of immigrants and crossed the Allegheny Mountains into Virginia. The land looked inviting, the soil was rich, and water and timber were plentiful. No question -- this would be their new home. After a year or so, William returned to Port Tobacco, hoping to convince his family to join him. With one exception, Samuel, all agreed. The Jonathan Ogden family was on its way. 

Definite dates are unknown. However, on 9 Feb. 1804 an "Indenture was drawn up granting Jonathan and Thomas a certain parcel of land, the description of which is very interesting. For a consideration of $100.00 they were granted a parcel of land in the County of Harrison, State of Virginia. Boundaries were the West Fork River, and others described in words, such as: "Beginning at a Mulberry tree", "86 poles to a chestnut," "24 poles to the mouth of the run," etc. It would contain 100 acres, "together with all privileges and commodities thereto belonging or in any wise appertaining with all its appurtenances." 

The last paragraph was very clear -- 'To have and to hold the said tract or parcel of land with all its appurtenances unto the said Jonathan Ogden and Thomas Ogden and their heirs and assigns forever." 

Jonathan died in 1807 and was buried in a private cemetery close to the house in which they lived. Anne continued to live until 1825 and is buried at Jonathan's side. 

The Jonathan Ogden's planted their roots deep into the Virginia soil and since that time many descendants have taken their places and carried out their responsibilities in the affairs of community and state. They helped this new country grow into what, in 1863, was to become the 35th state of the Union -- West Virginia."
