LOUIS
AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW IN THIS BUSINESS OF GENEALOGY THE PROCESS IS INVOLVED IN A CONTINUOUS PROCESS OF ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.THIS IS ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS.
RE:JOSEPH OGDEN KILLED AT WYOMING ON 3 JULY 1778.I HAD BELIEVED,BASED UPON THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THE TIME THAT HE WAS,IN FACT,THE SON OF DAVID AND MILISON LAYNE. AN ITEM THAT LED ME TO THIS CONCLUSION WAS A RECORD STATING THAT ON 9 DEC 1775 JOSEPH OGDEN WAS LISTED IN A MUSTER ROLL OF VOLUNTEERS AT NORTHUMBERLAND FOR AN ATTACK ON THE CONNECTICUT SETTLEMENTS IN WYOMING VALLEY.
NOW,AS TO JOSEPH KILLED AT WYOMING,IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT HE WAS ONE OF THE "YANKEES" SERVING UNDER COL ZEBULON BUTLER FROM CONNECTICUT WHO WAS THE LEADER OF THE YANKEES.FURTHER,HE HAD A WIFE, ANN, WHO ESCAPED TO CONNECTICUT IN THE "GREAT RUNAWAY"WITH A SISTER AND THREE OF HER CHILDREN.SHE SETTLED AT KENT,CONN,AND REMARRIED TO AN (UNKNOWN)BURLEY.THIS JOSEPH,IT SEEMS TO ME,WAS LIKELY FROM CONNECTICUT,HIS ANCESTRY UNKNOWN TO ME AT THIS TIME.
AGAIN,ROBERT OGDEN
