Honoring CAPT Joseph Ogle
Ogling for Ogles A publication of Ogle/Ogles Family Association www.ogles.org Make Your Reservations Now to Meet Us in St. Louis Note: Convention Dates Have Changed Slightly By Kathy Ogle and Tim Ogle The dedication ceremony and unveiling of the marker to honor one of the St. Louis area’s earliest pioneers, CAPT Joseph Ogle, will take place on Saturday, September 26, 2015, just prior to the official opening of our 2015 O/OFA convention. So, to accommodate this fantastic addition to our plans, we are going to shorten our official convention dates by one day. The specifics are still being discussed, but our agenda will look something like this: Saturday, September 26, 2015 • Morning: Have breakfast at the Drury Inn, then meet up about 10:00 AM to carpool to the O’Fallon Historical Museum. Have lunch in O’Fallon, then visit the Three Springs Revival area before congregating for the dedication. • 2:00 to 4:00 PM: Dedication ceremony in Shiloh (about 30 minutes southeast of the hotel). Details to come. You can meet us at the dedication location if you arrive too late for the additional museum visit. Sunday, September 27, 2015 Optional tours. Details to come. There is so much to do in the area, we simply can’t decide what to offer! But you can rest assured that it will be great. Monday, September 28, 2015 We will officially open the convention and begin meetings about 9:00 AM. We’ll break for lunch, then resume meetings until about 4:00 PM, leaving plenty of time for the 5:30 PM Kickback, offered by the Drury Inn. Tuesday, September 29, 2015 Same schedule as Monday. Wednesday, September 30, 2015 Meetings will be held in the morning, ending around noon. This will give the hotel time to set up for our Farewell Dinner. Dinner will start at about 7:00 PM and will include a great meal and entertainment by a local Barbershop Quartet (members of the Ogle family, of course). This will end the official portion of the convention a day earlier than previously announced.

Book Review: “The History of Worthy Park House” by Wendy Osborne by Jim Ogle and Shirley Willard Worthy Park House is a school for young children located in Winchester, Hampshire, UK. The book is 6x8 inches, with a soft cover. It has 40 pages, including the covers. What makes this book interesting from an Ogle standpoint is that the property was purchased in 1752 by Lord and Lady Kingston (second marriage for both). Lady Kingston was born Isabella Ogle (1712–1761) to Nathaniel Ogle, MD, (1674–1739) and Elizabeth Newton at Kirkley Hall, Ogle, Northumberland. The book contains biographies, portraits and illustrations, and a family tree beginning with Nathaniel Ogle and Elizabeth Newton. Portraits include Sir Chaloner Ogle and his sister Hester Jane Sheridan, as well as Sir Charles Ogle. This is a valuable history of the Ogle family. You can order the book by contacting Wendy Osborne at pinksugarfish@ gmail.com. Purchase price is five British pounds (about $7.50), and she accepts PayPal. Page 3 Winter 2014 Issue 27 No. 1 Honoring CAPT Joseph Ogle (1737–1821) By James F. “Jim” Engler, Sr. This is to Certify that John McCullough Servd as a Soldier in my Company three Months in the Summer Season at Vanmetres Mill & the Beach Bottom in the year 1777 Given under my Hand this 4 Day of April 1785 —Joseph Ogle, Capt. With these few words (now in the Draper Collection), we can imagine that Joseph Ogle, a resident of Ohio County, Virginia (now West Virginia), finished one remaining request of a neighbor and comrade-in-arms before closing one chapter of his life and opening another, turning his face to the West. Joseph Ogle had been raised in Frederick County, Maryland (which at the time included the modern counties of Frederick, Montgomery, Washington, Alleghany, Garret, and part of Carroll), either being born there or coming there as a small child. He met his future wife there, married there, and had children there before migrating further west in 1769 to an area of Ohio County known as Buffalo Creek (now located in Brooke County, West Virginia). That he was well-respected and considered a leader of men is evidenced by his election by his neighbors and the later confirmation on January 2, 1777, by Gov. Patrick Henry to the rank of Captain, in charge of a company of Virginia militia during the American Revolution. He had already served as a Lieutenant in the militia just over two years earlier during Lord Dunmore’s War and was present at the Battle of Point Pleasant (on October 10, 1774, now in West Virginia), considered by some to be the first engagement of the American Revolution. He would survive two close calls during the Indian attacks in the first and second sieges of Fort Henry (at what is now Wheeling, West Virginia) and demonstrated considerable courage in each event. He suffered the deaths first of a brother, Jacob, then his wife Prudence, and then another brother, Thomas, before the war was over, his brothers both dying in battle. After the peace was won, stories of the new lands to the West certainly must have been the topic of conversation in the cabins and settlements of his area. George Rogers Clark had wrested what would become known as the Old Northwest Territory (modern day Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin) from British occupation and many of his soldiers, including neighbors and in-laws of Joseph, went to settle there. Joseph’s late wife’s sister and her husband, James Moore, were some of the first to settle there in 1782, and by 1785, Joseph must have decided that the lands of the Illinois Country beckoned with promise. In April 1785, he headed for Pittsburgh to get a raft and provisions. While waiting for it to all be gathered, he helped the locals deal with an Indian attack. With the raft and supplies ready, he headed down the Ohio, either with his second wife, Jemima, and his family in tow or waiting for his arrival at their home. Before the end of that April, they had survived the dangerous currents of the Ohio, landed in Illinois, and worked their way over land to the settlements known as the American Bottom, just opposite the Spanishcontrolled town of St. Louis on the Mississippi. The next 10 years would continued on page 6 Ogling for Ogles Page 4 Make Your Reservations Now continued from page 1 This small cemetery is hard to find, so be sure you get good directions. “ST. Louis is home to many great attractions, several of which are less than 10 miles from the Drury Inn.” 3. O’Fallon, Illinois, Cemetery. This large cemetery is the burial site of several of the children of Drusilla Andrews Mace (1783–1863), the granddaughter of Jacob Ogle and great niece of CAPT Joseph Ogle and the sole survivor of an Indian Massacre in Monroe County. She and her husband were among O’Fallon’s earliest pioneers. 4. Shiloh Cemetery in Shiloh, Illinois. This city cemetery is directly across from Shiloh Methodist Church. It’s the location of the dedication ceremony for the marker for CAPT Joseph Ogle and the site of Three Springs Revival. The first Methodist meetings were held in Illinois in the 1790s. 5. Palmier Cemetery in Columbia, Illinois. This is a fairly large cemetery with at least two Ogles buried in it. This cemetery is located on land that CAPT Joseph Ogle received for his service during the Revolutionary War and that was donated by CAPT Joseph and Benjamin Ogle in the 1790s, and it features a beautiful view of the surrounding area. 6. Miles Cemetery near Columbia, Illinois. This has probably a couple hundred grave sites. James Garretson is buried there. I believe he is one of Jim Engler’s GGGG grandfathers. This cemetery features a beautiful view of the surrounding area. 7. Lemen Monument and gravesite in Waterloo, Illinois. This gravesite is on private property and is very hard to find. It includes 16 graves. It’s located on property owned by James Lemen in the 1780s and is the location of the first brick home in Illinois (then called Northwest Territory). This was also the first meeting place for the Baptist congregation in Illinois. http://monroe.illinoisgenweb. org/lemen/lemen.html 8. New Design Historical Cemetery in Monroe County, Illinois (town of New Design, Illinois). This town was founded by James Lemen and CAPT Joseph Ogle in the 1780s. It is the original site of the building of the first Baptist Church in Illinois. This is a large cemetery with many descendants of Katherine Ogle Lemen (daughter of CAPT Joseph Ogle and wife of James Lemen). http://www. findagrave.com/cgi-bin/ fg.cgi?page=crMap&CRid= 107147 Genealogy Research Facilities Below is a partial list of great locations for genealogy research. Visit each website and/or call for hours and specific location information. 1. St. Louis Public Library in downtown St. Louis (about a 10-minute drive from the Drury Inn). The large genealogy department includes microfilm of St. Louis newspapers and obituaries and copies of death certificates, etc. http://www.slpl.org/slpl/ library/article240098545.asp 2. St. Louis County Library on Lindbergh Blvd. (about a 20-minute drive from the Drury). Has several different types of resources. One floor is dedicated to history and genealogy and is funded by the St. Louis Genealogy Society. http://www.slcl.org/genealogy 3. Mercantile Library at University of Missouri at St. Louis (near the airport). Includes records of early maps original to St. Louis. http:// www.umsl.edu/mercantile/ 4. O’Fallon Historical Society Museum (near O’Fallon Cemetery). Allow about an hour to tour the main museum. They also have a collection of newspaper clippings and photographs important to descendants of CAPT Joseph Ogle. If you want to see these, call ahead to arrange it. Several of their members have been invaluable in planning the convention. The museum operates on donations only. http://www.ofallonhistory.net/ 5. Morrison-Talbot Library in Waterloo, Illinois (often called Waterloo Library). Has a genealogy department with lots of information about the James Lemen family. In addition to traditional records, their “file cabinets” contain printed material (family histories, handwritten notes, newspaper articles, etc.) on various Monroe County families. http:// waterloolibrary.org/ 6. Belleville Library in Belleville, Illinois. The archives and genealogy section is located on the second floor Page 5 and maintains an impressive genealogical collection for St. Clair and the surrounding counties. There are many connections with the James Lemen family. Much of their collection is digitized and can be researched online. http:// www.belleville.net/index. aspx?NID=350 Attractions Near the Hotel St. Louis is home to many great attractions, several of which are less than 10 miles from the Drury Inn. Attractions include Anheuser-Busch Brewery (6 miles); Busch Stadium, Home of the Cardinals (6 miles) home games September 21–27, visit www.cardinals.com; Forest Park/St. Louis Zoo (1 mile); Fox Theatre (4 miles); Galleria Mall (5 miles); Gateway Arch (6 miles); Grant’s Farm (7 miles); Historic Union Station (6 miles); Missouri Botanical Gardens (2 miles); and St. Louis Art Museum (1 mile). Learn more at www.druryhotels.com. Getting There The Drury Inn offers free parking for guests. For those who are flying, be aware that the St. Louis airport is about 15 miles from the hotel, and the hotel doesn’t have a shuttle service. You may rent a car, take a cab, or use a shuttle service. There are plenty of activities and dining options within walking distance of the hotel, so if you don’t have activities other than the convention planned, you probably don’t need a car. We will be organizing carpools for the planned convention activities that require transportation. Winter 2014 Taking a cab: We’ve made arrangements with Laclede Cab for a discounted flat-fee fare of $35 per trip to or from the airport (no charge for extra passengers). Call them in advance at 314-652-3456, mention Tim Ogle, and give them your name and flight info. They will track the flight and meet you at the airport. Their cabs are solid bright red with an Arch in their logo. Also call them in advance to set up a return trip. Taking a shuttle: If you prefer a shuttle (which you may share with other riders), the hotel recommends Go Best Shuttle (www.gobestexpress.com, 314-222-5300). The trip will cost about $22 one way or $39 round-trip per person (pay for the round-trip up front and keep the receipt). You should call them in advance and make arrangements. This is a cheaper alternative for a person traveling alone, but it won’t be as convenient or personal as Laclede Cab.

The “Pond” has not been maintained as it should have been, so it needs to be improved to be incorporated into the Estate. Some of the tasks that need to be completed are: trimming trees, removing invading weeds, providing eco-friendly plants and shrubs, constructing new all-weather paths, creating relevant The College can provide funding for some of the above needs, but additional financial support is needed. It is hoped that the work can be completed in 2015, with an official opening/naming ceremony that includes a member of O/OFA. With the Kirkley Hall Zoological Gardens attracting thousands of visitors a year, the “Ogle Pond” should provide a focal point that highlights the relationship of the Ogle family to the history of the Estate. A request for a contribution of $2,000 was sent to the O/OFA for this project. Your board members support this project and look forward to having our association recognized at the “Ogle Pond.” To make a contribution, write a check to O/OFA and send it to: Peggy Higham PO Box 93 Benton City, WA 99320 Honoring CAPT Joseph Ogle (1737–1821) continued from page 3 be eventful for him. Joseph would see his daughter Catherine and her husband, James Lemen, arrive in 1785, as well as his niece Elizabeth and her husband, James Andrews. He would suffer the loss of this same niece and most of her family in a massacre in 1787, and he would ransom from the Indians through a French trader her only surviving child, Drusilla. He’d learn that his son Benjamin was attacked and nearly killed by Indians in 1788; Benjamin would carry the Indian’s musket ball in his shoulder for the rest of his life. Joseph was called upon for and went out on several expeditions to deal with the Indian attacks. He would see many children marry and have children of their own. He became the first Methodist baptized in Illinois in 1787. A class of believers would look to him as their leader after he was appointed by a visiting preacher in the early 1790s when no permanent preacher was available. He donated some of his land for a cemetery. He would move again in 1802 to Horse Prairie and help to build the Shiloh Methodist Church. Finally, at 84 years of age, he died at his farm on February 24, 1821, having lived a rich and long live. Just prior to the O/OFA Convention in St. Louis, on September 26, 2015, we will gather to honor this Patriot of the American Revolution, this pioneer of Illinois and pillar of his community and his church. We will be heading from the Drury Inn that Saturday morning, visiting several sites across the river in Illinois, ending up at the dedication of the marker for CAPT Joseph Ogle in a plot donated by St. Clair County, in the Shiloh Cemetery just opposite the doors of the church Joseph helped to found. We are currently in the planning stages for the actual ceremony, but we are hoping that we will have a color guard in colonial uniform and the participation of the local chapters of the Sons and the Daughters of the American Revolution (SAR and DAR). Won’t you join us? This is a unique opportunity to learn about the very early history of the Ogle family in the area and to honor a larger-thanlife Ogle, called by some the “Daniel Boone of Illinois.” Page 7 Winter 2014 Issue 27 No. 1 LBATO: An Update By James F. “Jim” Engler, Sr. Our Ogle Family Book Project, Looking Back at the Ogles (LBATO), continues to move forward, although it may seem to have a glacial pace. Here are some key points to consider: • As of August 2014, Volume 1 has sold 231 of the original 300 copies printed. With the holidays approaching, this would be a great gift for the genealogically interested Ogle in your life. • We still have about 200 pages of the Volume 2 draft that need to be reviewed. In the process of doing due diligence, we have discovered a lot of “new” lines in the covered branches. We’ve increased the size of the line of Thomas “T.O.” Ogle (1751–1818/30) and his wife, Isabella “Iby” “Eby” Wilson, by a full 25 percent (we now have 1,317 persons in this line). So far, the line of his brother John Ogle (1754–Poss. 1808) and Sarah Dennis has increased in size by 23 percent (we now have 6,932 persons in this line). • Volume 3 is still being worked on. This line has increased by 70 percent (to 13,518 descendants) since Wayne Ogle created a review copy of this line in 2006. Growth in our information is a double-edged sword, as shown in the chart below. There were few changes between Wayne Ogle’s initial 2006 copy of the Thomas “T.O.” Ogle branch and the 2010 version, which was what Wayne had intended to go to press with for his original version of LBATO Volume 1. Since then, we have filled in many of the descendants, so we have a more complete view of the line. However, this required a lot of effort. It also indicates that we can expect this level of effort on other lines, which will delay those lines as well. Anyone who is willing to help do the research, seeking out the original sources for other Ogle lines, would be welcome and should contact me, Jim Engler, Acting Editor. We have had little response from our members who descend from the brothers in Volume 2 regarding early photos of ancestors in these lines (pre-1910 photos or images). If you have such photos, now is the time to send me a copy. The preferred approach is to scan the photo and send a .jpg file to oofa.odc@gmail.com, but hard copies can be sent to: 2038 Red River Road Sykesville, MD 21784 Please do not send your originals. Photographers and places like Wal-Mart can help create a copy for you. “Growth in our information is a double-edged sword.” If undeliverable, return to: PEGGY HIGHAM PO BOX 93 BENTON CITY, WA 99320 return service requested First Class Mail We’re on the web! www.ogles.org End Notes Updating Mailing and Email Addresses Occasionally we need to contact our members with important information that needs to be communicated between issues of the newsletter.
