        THE JONATHAN OGDENS COME TO VIRGINIA

        "In about the mid and late 1700s, the town of Port Tobacco, Maryland was a thriving community of people building new lives for themselves.  The area was a world of beautiful plantations from which products, particularly tobacco,

were shipped out via the Port Tobacco River to England.  Returning ships brought back not only necessities, but also "fancies" to be enjoyed.  This was early America's Port Tobacco, a happy and prosperous community.

        Living in this beautiful land was the family of one Jonathan Ogden,

consisting of Jonathan, his wife Anne, who had been born and raised at Howell's Delight, one of the fine plantations in the area, and their ten children: Tabitha, William R., Mary, Sarah, Samuel, Nathan, Susannah, Nancy Ann and Elizabeth.  Life was good.

        But years bring change and so they did to Port Tobacco.  First, the

Revolutionary War, then and probably even more damaging, the river which had

been the life blood of the community, began to silt badly, making transportation and shipping almost impossible.  Without the river, times declined, causing many to leave the area.  Thus, the story of the Ogden family.

        In the late 1790s, William, Jonathan's oldest son, joined a party of

immigrants and crossed the Allegheny Mountains into Virginia.  The land

looked inviting, the soil was rich, and water and timber were plentiful.  No

question -- this would be their new home.  After a year or so, William returned to Port Tobacco, hoping to convince his family to join him.  With one exception, Samuel, all agreed.  The Jonathan Ogden family was on its way.

        Definite dates are unknown.  However, on 9 Feb. 1804 an "Indenture was drawn up granting Jonathan and Thomas a certain parcel of land, the description of which is very interesting.  For a consideration of $100.00 they were granted a parcel of land in the County of Harrison, State of Virginia. Boundaries

were the West Fork River, and others described in words, such as: "Beginning

at a Mulberry tree", "86 poles to a chestnut," "24 poles to the mouth of the

run," etc.  It would contain 100 acres, "together with all privileges and commodities thereto belonging or in any wise appertaining with all its appurtenances."

        The last paragraph was very clear -- 'To have and to hold the said tract or parcel of land with all its appurtenances unto the said Jonathan Ogden and

Thomas Ogden and their heirs and assigns forever."

        Jonathan died in 1807 and was buried in a private cemetery close to the house in which they lived.  Anne continued to live until 1825 and is buried at

Jonathan's side.

        The Jonathan Ogdens planted their roots deep into the Virginia soil and since that time many descendants have taken their places and carried out their

responsibilities in the affairs of community and state.  They helped this new

country grow into what, in 1863, was to become the 35th state of the Union -- "

Notes for WILLIAM RHODY OGDEN:

Ella K. Barnard, Descendants of William and Mary Maltby,  (Baltimore, 1909.  Press of The Garnman Printing Co. , Carlisle, PA.  Copyright 1909), "Electronic," Page 82

     ""My grandfather moved away before my recollection and my father died when I was eleven years old so I never learned much about my ancestors. My father was not a church member and what religious belief he held I do not know. None of my father's family ever held slaves, that I know of. My mother's family did, but her father, my grandfather, was an abolitionist and never sold any slaves and freed 36, all he had, before his death (1851). All his children were brought up to believe that slavery was wrong in principle and he and some of his children suffered persecution on account of his belief on the question."

     "All my relations on both sides were Union people during the War of the Rebellion. I and two brothers were in the Federal Army, and my other brother, Benjamin, he was a Deputy U. S. Marshall."

Notes for LAWSON BARTLETT MAULSBY:

Ella K. Barnard, Descendants of William and Mary Maltby,  (Baltimore, 1909.  Press of The Garnman Printing Co. , Carlisle, PA.  Copyright 1909), "Electronic," Page 83

     "Each son of Lawson Bartlett Maulsby was named for one of his brothers and for one of his wife's brothers."

     "William Maulsby and a brother were merchants in Nashville at the breaking out of the Civil War. The last letter received from them (so writes Mrs. Hetrick) was written by my grandsire's [William's] request to Lawson Bartlett's widow, during the war."

     "The town of Gipsy is now on or near the site of the old tannery property."

     "Lawson Bartlett Maulsby owned a quarter-section of land in Allen Co., Ohio. A part of the city of Lima, and a part of what is called the South Lima oil field, is on that piece of land."

     "In the Spring of 1838 the family removed to Doddridge County, W. Va., where Lawson Bartlett Maulsby was the first postmaster in the county. About 1842 he built a large three-story house that was painted white and known as the "White House." He carried on a store of general Merchandise. The house is no longer standing, but the tan house was still there in 1901."

     "The family Bible was burned some time in the 70's."

     "Our grandfather's brother, Benjamin, lived in Leesburg.--From letter from Mrs. Hetrick."

     "Lawson Bartlett Maulsby's family belonged to the Methodist Church."

Notes for SILAS J OGDEN:

Harrison County Heritage, Patti Hickman, Coordinator, Walsworth Publishing

Co., Summersville, WV, 1995.

        "Silas J. Ogden was the grandson of Jonathan and Nancy Ann (Howell) Ogden who migrated to Harrison County from Charles County, MD, about 1804.  Jonathan Ogden was a Revolutionary soldier who settled after leaving Charles County, MD, on Snyder's Run opposite the mouth of Bingamon Creek on the West Fork River.  Both Jonathan and Nancy are buried in a small cemetery on Snyder's Run just inside the Marion County line.  Jonathan's first-born son William Rhody married Phoebe Hall, a daughter of John and Phoebe Hall of Bingamon Creek.  William Rhody was born October 16, 1769, in Charles County, MD, and died October 1, 1851, in Harrison County, VA.  Phoebe (Hall) Ogden was born November 22, 1779, and died April 1850 in Harrison County, VA.  Silas Jay was born December 1, 1816, the seventh child of that union.  Silas married Jane

Anne Martin in December 1852, daughter of John B. and Jane Ann (Wood) Martin

of Upper Smith Run, Harrison County.

        Silas was a judge in the courts of Harrison County and managed a prosperous farm on upper Gypsy Run.  Silas died in Harrison County in 1901.  He was preceded in death by his wife Jane Ann in 1890.  Their daughter Phoebe

Catherine, born June 10, 1868, married Gratton U. Balsley, a Methodist

minister from Upshur County in 1852.  Phoebe Catherine (Kate) was

well-educated and taught music to several residents in Harrison County before

her death in 1929.  William Rhody, Phoebe (Hall) Ogden, Silas Jay and Jane

Ann (Martin) Ogden, Phoebe Catherine Ogden and her husband Gratton U. Balsley are all buried in the Ogden plot at the l.O.O.F. Cemetery in Shinnston, WV

along with other members of this family."

Notes for MOSES SHINN:

Josiah H. Shinn, History of the Shinn Family,  (The Genealogical and Historical Publishing Company.Chicago. 1903), "Electronic," Page 360-361

     "....his father gave the young couple a farm opposite Shinnston on the west fork of the Monongahela; followed farming and rafting timber until the spring of 1850; removed to Adams County, Illinois, going the entire distance by water; from Shinnston on his own farm he started on a flatboat down the Monongahela River and remained on it until he reached the head water of steamboat navigation, when he transferred to a steamboat; down the Ohio to its mouth and up the Mississippi to Quincy, where he disembarked; the steamboats then were little palaces, and a trip like that was an event of a lifetime; purchased a farm in Hancock County, twelve miles north of Carthage, the county seat, in 1851; in 1852 returned to Virginia for a team of thoroughbred mares; took back to Illinois a beautiful span of bays that was the pride of Hancock County for years; opened a dairy for the manufacture of butter and cheese, which was successful; to Pike's Peak with a team in 1860 during the gold excitement of that date; located claims which gave evidence of value; returned to Hancock County with the intention of going to Pike's Peak the next year to perfect his claims; attacked in the spring of 1861 with typhoid fever and lost his claim; in 1862 went with a party, his daughter Carrie and her husband being of the number, overland to Oregon; the journey with ox teams required five months and two weeks; the hardships were grievous, and the dangers many and imminent, yet the trip was made without loss; remained three years on Puget Sound and in various parts of Oregon, and desired to remain in Washington; but letters from the good wife in Illinois, who thought she could never go so far, induced him to return to Illinois; went back by way of the Isthmus of Panama and New York City to Hancock County; in 1866 rented their Illinois property and went to Iowa for a year; bought 300 acres in Pottawattomie County; sold the farm in Illinois and with all his stock removed to Iowa in 1867; developed his farm for eleven years; entered a joint stock company for the erection of a flouring mill and grain elevator, which ruined him; he furnished money and other men the experience; in a short time he had all the experience, but no money. Such schemes are called "progressive civilization"; "swindling" would be a truer name. Not disheartened, but with a brave heart, he set out for Osborne County, Kansas, where he homesteaded a farm and began in his old age to rebuild his fortunes. He built a sod house and made an heroic struggle against grasshoppers and drouth; but it was a losing one. His daughter from Washington visited him in 1886, and seeing the seams of care upon his face, induced him to leave Kansas for Washington. He drove from Osborne County to Huntingdon, Ore., in a light wagon in sixty days. Remained in Grant County during the winter; crossed the Cascades in the spring of 1888 and set down at Portland one year. In the summer of 1889 he reached Seattle; visited Olympia, Shelton Roads and other places; finally chose a spot for a home and drove down his stakes for the last effort of his life. La grippe seized him in 1892 and on July 25, 1893, the messenger of death called the wanderer home. Thus ended a long and honorable and most useful life. For more than seventy-five years he had lived a life of happiness and love; always a good citizen, a devoted husband and father; intelligent, cosmopolitan, broad in view and courteous in manner, he had hosts of friends and was generally respected and loved. His wife is still alive in her 83d year, calmly waiting to rejoin the companion of her life."

The Old Prospector

Wasatch County

        "Among the early prospectors who organized the Snake Creek Mining District in Wasatch County were the following men, N. C. Springer, F. S. Gregg, John Mitchell, W. H. Smith, Thomas Mallory, Thomas Newman, S. H. Epperson and S. T. Epperson, Joseph McCanell and Theophilus Robey, R. S. Ross, John Davis, A. P. Doudle and many others. In the fall of the year, generally after their farm work was finished, they would wander into the canyons and mountains loaded with pick and shovel, blankets and enough food to last them for a few weeks. They found enough claims to organize the Snake Creek Mining District. Included are some of the articles of their by-laws which show plainly the method of locating and keeping a claim."

A NOBLE WOMAN GONE

        Another old-timer has gone, another of the courageous souls that redeemed the wilderness, to make it a pleasant abode, has taken its flight to other realms.  On Sunday, the 17th, Mrs. Ruth Robey expired suddenly of heart failure, her husband, Jeremiah Robey, Esq., sitting by her.  She had been his faithful spouse and true helpmate for more than half a century.  The deceased was born in Shynston (sic), Harrison County, Virginia, June 26 1816.  She married when 17 years of age, Jeremiah Robey, with whom she removed in 1841 to Nauvoo, where they were identified in full faith and good works with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, bearing their share of hardships succeeding the martyrdom of the prophets Joseph and Hyrum.  Mr. and Mrs. Robey came to Utah in 1852, soon moving up to Provo Valley, where they assisted valiantly and industriously in settling this thriving and prosperous place and "growing up with the country."  Mr. Robey was honored by the confidence of his fellow citizens with many public trusts, especially as a member of a long succession of school boards, and "Gran'ma" Robey ever was the friend of young and old, even outside of her immediate family circle.  For, though of ten children, born to them in the course of long years of loving union, six were taken from them by death, she leaves 41 grandchildren, 152 great grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild to mourn her loss, which in a measure is felt by the entire neighborhood, whose warm affection and full confidence the deceased enjoyed even to her demise.   This was nobly evident on the occasion of the funeral on Tuesday afternoon, when the meetinghouse was crowded with young and old, about 200 school children being in attendance in honor of "Grandma Robey," whose husband has so long been prominent in the development of the youth of Midway.  Bishop Van Wagener and Counselors Watkins and Alexander, in feeling language, extolled the virtues of the deceased sister and spoke words of hope-inspiring comfort to the bereaved family, who have the sympathies of all, including many old time friends in Ogden, such as Hon. D H Perry and family.

From a Journal written by James Allison Robey in 1815

 

April 23rd Sunday Morning

     From Cummins I went 8 miles to breakfast with a Mr. Evaultt from Evultts to Parris is 5 miles.  When I got to Parris I went directly to the sheriff of the county to inquire for Uncle Hezekiah Robey.  He told me he lived 14 miles from Parris on the Iron Works road or road leading to the upper Bleu Lick.  I started immediately and got there about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.  When I arrived I found Uncle Hez and Aunt Polly was not at home.  They had gone to see their son Owen.  Cousin Emma was the eldest at home and from my conversation and freedom Emma conjectured that I must be a distant relation or acquaintance.  Her anxiety still increased to know who I was and I would not tell her, as I wanted to see whether uncle could find me out when he came.  On Emma's hearing me wish for her fathers return, she sent her brother Leonard off in haste to inform his father of me.  On Leonard telling uncle of me and also what I had said he concluded it must be me and accordingly when he came he called me by name.  I then made myself known, which afforded no snall satisfaction and surprise.  They informed me that the relation were all generally in health.

 

April 24th Monday

     I staid (sic) at Uncle Robey's all day.  Aunt Polly is very unwell. We suppose she has caught cold by her visit to Owen yesterday.

 

April 25th Tuesday

     I went in the evening to uncle Thomas Darnals about a mile distance.

 

May 1st 1815, Monday

     I am still at uncle Hez Robeys.  I have been to see some of my cousins and chance I have seen nearly all of them.  I was at James Tippets on Saturday night last.  This Tippet married  cousin Sally Robey.

Notes for ELIZABETH SHINN:

The obituary from the newspaper reporting her death reads in part: Rev. Henry langford, Baptist Minister, said, "She was one of the little band that first lifted in Sardis the banner of truth, and contended for the faith once delivered to the Saints."  The article went on to report that "Elizabeth Shinn had been a great sufferer for many year.  Consumption worked slowly but fatally.  She was a humble, devoted, patient, trusting Christian; a kind true and loving wife, mother and neighbor.  But their loss is her gain.  It is well for the patient sufferer to be at rest and we would not recall her if we could, but say, the Lord's will be done."

 (From; Alice Hardman Anderson and Daniel M. Ogden Jr., " A History of The Robert S. Ogden Family",  (non-published--printed Washington, D.C. 1986  (81348)), Page 12-13.)

     "Bigler, Jacob G., a Patriarch in the Juab Stake of Zion, was born April 4, 1813, in Harrison county, Virginia (now West Virginia), the son of Mark Bigler and Susanna (Ogden) Bigler. In a biographical sketch prepared for this volume, Patriarch Bigler wrote: "My boyhood days were passed at home with my parents at the place of my birth. I remained there till I was twenty-five years old. My father and I were farmers, to which he also added stock raising on a small scale. During this time I heard "Mormonism" taught and was a believer, but did not join the Church until I went to Far West, Mo. in March, 1838. There I investigated the principles more fully and was thoroughly convinced of their truth. On the 10th of June, 1838, I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After I had been in Far West awhile, I bought a farm of 240 acres for my father and myself. We were to give $2,000 and paid $200 down to bind the bargain. In July, 1838, I returned to Virginia. We sold our landed property, and I took my mother and unmarried sisters (I had no brothers) viz., Sarah, Bathsheba W. and Melissa Jane, and returned to Far West. In the meantime Governor Boggs had issued his exterminating order and we, with the rest of the Saints, were compelled to leave the State or deny the faith. We left Far West Feb. 11, 1839, traveling through deep snow, and arrived in Quincy, Ill., about the 1st of March. My first acquaintance with the Prophet Joseph Smith was in March, 1838. I became intimately acquainted with him and his family, also his father and family, from that time until the martyrdom. I helped to move him and family, also his father and family, from Quincy to Commerce (now Nauvoo); the Egyptian mummies were a part of my load. My father was taken sick and on the 23rd of September, 1839, he died. Mother and I administered on the estate and when we got that settled in the spring of 1840, we moved to Nauvoo. In March, 1841, I returned to Virginia, and on the 19th of April, I was married to Mary Ann Boggess. In May I, with my wife, returned to Nauvoo. Oct. 29, 1842, my wife died with fever and in March, 1843, I returned to Virginia on business. May 24, 1844, I returned to Nauvoo, and on the 18th of June I married Amy Lorette Chase. I worked on the Temple at Nauvoo from that time, nearly continuously, until its completion. I remained in Nauvoo until June 10, 1846 when I crossed the Mississippi river and made a start for the west with a poor outfit for the journey, but was greatly blessed of the Lord and arrived at Winter Quarters on the 18th of August, 1846. There I remained until the spring of 1848. Being on the Indian reservation, we had to recross the river, not having means to continue our journey west. We settled near Kanesville, Iowa, and afterwards moved into that town. In the spring of 1849, I was called to take charge of the general tithing office of Pottawattamie county, Iowa, receiving the tithing from the seventeen Bishop's Wards or branches of the Church, and looking after the poor. There were many poor there who could go no farther. I acted as Bishop of Kanesville, and also as a member of the High Council. At the August election, (1849) I was elected justice of the peace, and the following August (1850) was elected probate judge of Pottawattamie county. From the spring of 1849 until the spring of 1852 my time was almost entirely taken up with looking after the duties of my office, both in Church and State capacities. In 1850 I was preparing to start west to Utah, but Apostle Orson Hyde wanted my services in Iowa, so I remained there till 1852. On June 10, 1852, we crossed the Missouri river with a moderate outfit for the journey, and were organized in Captain Gardner's company, it being company 10. I was captain of the first ten families. We arrived in Salt Lake City in September. After remaining in the city a short time, I left for Nephi, Juab county, Utah, arriving there Oct. 18, 1852, where I have lived ever since, until the present time (1907). This settlement was commenced in 1851. In November, 1852, I was ordained Bishop of Juab county under the hands of Apostle Geo. A. Smith, which position I held till 1861, when I was called on a mission to Europe. In June, 1853
