  • Notes: 

  • Published accounts of the English ancestry of Richard Ogden are apparently false. There is no Bradley Plain where the family is said to have come from and vital records from attributed to that location are said to have been part of a fraud perpetrated by the infamous genealogy fraud Gustav Anjou. Richard Ogden is said to be the brother of John Ogden of Stamford or John Ogden of Rye. There is also some disagreement as to whether this Richard Ogden is the immigrant, or a son of the immigrant. Evidence is needed to confirm these relationships.
