  • Notes: 

  • The origins and ancestry of John Ogden is in doubt as many sources quoted professional genealogist Gustave Anjou as their source, particularly with regards to church records at Bradley Plain, Hamshire, England. However, Bradley Plain is apparently ficticious and Gustave Anjou has since been uncovered as a fraud with many noted articles having been written with regards to his fraud.

    John Ogden is said to be the brother of Richard Ogden of Fairfield. Evidence is needed to confirm this relationship.
