Ogle Family History Ogle Family History THE NAME AND FEMILY OF OGLE The name of Ogle is of Teutoniv oririn ana 1B probably- derived from the Old Scandinavian personal name of Aegel or Aegil, C meaning "awe" Terror". It was first assumed by those who made their " homes at Ogle, in Northumberland England, but one writer says of this name "in view of the village named Ogle(s)by and Oglethorp, the Northumberland place-namd must represents a personal name with a lost suffic". Another writer suggests that the name is a combination of the sncient personal name of OKR and the local Suffix hill and that the progenitor of the family was Ogg. King of Northumbria in sixth century A.D. but orhtes maintain that this derivation. Still others writers of the belief that the name had it's origin in thelcelandic personal name of Ogvalld, which means "might". In ancient English and early American; records thename appears in the various spellings of Ogell, Oggel,Oggil, Ogil, Ogle, Hoggel Hoggell Hogle, Oghell, Oghill, Oggehill, Oggille, Og^le, Ogle, and others, Of the forme mentioned, the last is that most frequently In evidence to-day. The Progenition of most, if not all, of +he famlljcies of Os-le was Humphrey de Hoggel or Hoggell, who had a grant about the beginning of +he twelfth century from Walter fritz William, Baron of Whalton, Northumberlane, "who came in with the ConQueror" A.D. of "all the liberties and royalties of this manor of O~le in as ample a manner as any of his ancestors enjoyed the same before the time of the Normans". By his wife Isabella, Humphrey wa* the father of Gilbert de Hogf*al Or Ogle, living in the year II89 Gilbert wea the grandfather of Sir Thomas de Oggell Or Ogill, who held the estate about ;„ the year 1240.

"Henry Ogle of Eglingham was born in 1600, for he was four a a half years old on the 19th of January, 1605... In 1643 he was one of the sequestrators for land, for the parliament, and on the 29th of November, 1644, was a deputy lieutenant for the county... He was a strong parliamentarian and in 1650... he entertained Cromwell in Eglingham, and the room where his guest slept is still standing at the Hall... He was a representative for the county in the Little Parliament 1653, and was again returned as such on the 4th of September, 1654... Henry's name occurs frequently as Captain Henry Ogle in State Papers, and he seems to have been very active;...it...seems probable that prior to the Restoration in 1660 he made over some of his property in case he should have been deprived, but however that may be, on the 20th of June, 1668, he entailed his property on his two grandchildren, with remainder to his own sons.

  • History of Columbia and Columbia Precinct, Monroe County, Illinois
    * * * * HISTORY of COLUMBIA, ILLINOIS COLUMBIA'S * CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION JULY 3, 4 and 5, 1959 HISTORY OF COLUMBIA AND COLUMBIA PRECINCT MONROE COUNTY, ILLINOIS 1859 - 1959 AND CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION COLUMBIA, ILLINOIS JULY 3-4-5, 1959 FOREWORD This year, 1959, marks the 100th anniversary of the in- corporation of Columbia, Illinois, as a town. Because of this, we, on July 3, 4 and 5, 1959, formally celebrate this event by a Centennial celebration. As a part of this celebration, a committee was appointed to write the history of Columbia. The story of Columbia goes back far more than a hun- dred years, and the story would not be complete without the telling of our rich background of early history. For it is a story of hardy pioneering, with sacrifices and heroism. It is a story, too, of simple virtues, lofty ideals and wholesome domestic life. Yet it is a story of civic and military achievements and trail blazing. Underneath it all education and the is deep religious faith and the quest for ; establishment of businesses and commercial enterprises that make for better living. In our Centennial year, we pause to reflect upon our heritage and to survey our future prospects. By this Centennial celebration the people of Columbia wish to publicly express their appreciation for 100 years of blessings and success, and our deep gratitude to our for- bears, even down to those in the dim and distant past whose bravery and fortitude made possible the Columbia of today. To them, and to all the citizens of Columbia is this his- tory dedicated.

Under this ordi- nance General Arthur St. Clair was appointed governor of the territory, and, in 1790, organized by proclamation, the county of St. Clair, named in honor of himself. To understand the boundaries defined in this and subsequent proclamations, and in early legislative acts setting up counties in the Northwest Territory, Indiana Territory and the terri- tory of Illinois, it is necessary to know the geographical location of a number of points not found on modern maps of Illinois. Some of these points are: The “Little Michilimackinack;” The Mackinaw River flowing into the Illinois four or five miles below Pekin in Tazwell County.

The manuscript Journal of the old Western Conference is the property of the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and has, for the past number of years, been deposited in the Library of Ohio Wesleyan Univer- sity. The Journal of the Western Conference covers nine- ty-seven pages of the manuscript volume, while the latter part of the volume is given over to the Journals of the Ohio Conference from 1812 to 1826, inclusive. None of these Journals have before been published. Unfortunately Methodism has not been careful of her historical docu- ments, and it is hoped that the appearance of this docu- ment may encourage the publication of others. In many respects the Journal of the Western Confer- ence is the most important historical document relating to the establishment of Methodism in the Mississippi Valley.

  • EXPEDITION, 1778 Edited by Edward G
    A REVOLUTIONARY JOURNAL AND ORDERLY BOOK OP GENERAL LACHLAN McINTOSH'S EXPEDITION, 1778 Edited by Edward G. Williams SECOND INSTALLMENT Introduction to Robert McCready's Orderly Book a sequel to Robert McCready's Journal of the Mclntosh expedition of 1778 (the only journal of that event that has A come to our view), 1 it is a singular fact that two orderly books of the same event have survived and that both have been obscured by a veil of misapprehension for more than a century. The first of these orderly books to be considered, and the one here- with firstprinted, was kept by Robert McCready, the diarist, himself. An erroneous label applied to it has served to screen it from the prying eyes of historical research workers. According to McCready 's affidavit, the orderly book, which he had kept as adjutant in Colonel Stephenson's Regiment, was attached to and accompanied his application for a pension (in 1836) 2 under the Act of Congress of 1832. The War Department gathered and indexed all Revolutionary records under the Act of 1892, and soon after the institution of the National Archives, in 1935, all Revo- lutionary pension records were deposited in its vaults. The appli- cation, supporting statements and witnessing affidavits remained among the pension files, while the Orderly Book and the Journal, probably after the 1892 date, went to the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress. Further to mystify those interested in follow- ing Robert McCready 's career (as previously stated), the family historian and genealogist makes no mention of the existence of either the Journal or the Orderly Book.

  • Docum Thomas Ogle
    460. Documentation for Thomas Ogle (1666 to 1734) father of Alexander Ogle (May 21, 1730 to Btw Feb 20, 1783 and Mar 21, 1783) Thomas Ogle was the son of John Ogle and his wife Elizabeth.(1) John Ogle was born September 30, 1649, in Berick Upon Tweed, Northumberland, England.(2) He died in 1683 in New Castle, Delaware.(3) John Ogle, 1646-1684, a young officer, eighteen years of age, in the English Military Expeditionary force under Colonel Richard Nichols, sent by King Charles II and the Duke of York to terminate Dutch influence and colonization in America, landed in 1664. Following the successful conclusion of this military task, young Ogle remained in the new world. The Duke of York through governor Richard Nichols granted John Ogle some eight hundred acres of land, on White Clay Creek, near New Castle on the Delaware in 1672. He soon disposed of this tract of land and purchased other tracts near Ogleton, Delaware.(4) The maiden name of John Ogle's wife, Elizabeth, is not known with certainty. There are some who contend John's wife was Elizabeth Wollaston, who was born in 1651 in Northumberland, England and who died in 1713 in New Castle, Delaware. These supporters contend that John and Elizabeth were married in 1667 in New Castle, Delaware.(One World Tree cite articles) (5) There are also strong supporters for Elizabeth Petersdotter as John Ogle's wife. This Elizabeth was born in 1654 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and died in 1702 in New Castle, Delaware. Supporters of this Elizabeth believe the her and John Ogle were married about 1671 in New Castle, Delaware.(One World Tree - cite articles) (6).
