I posted a reply over on the Ogle Family Forum related to Jane's parentage, but in reviewing your comments here, it raised questions for me.What book on the Ogle family are you referencing?Have you something that lists the source citation for Benjamin's date of birth?To date, the only thing I have found was a statement he made in court for a Revolutionary War pension application, and he only cited the year of his birth.His tombstone does not permit a calculation of the birth date, either.
On the Indian kidnapping, I have heard of it in 19th century reports, but never referencing Samuel as the father.So I remain very interested in knowing what the original source citation is for this.
