TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION,I AM A 10TH GENERATION DECENDANT OF JOHN OGDEN "OF RYE" WHO ARRIVED IN THIS COUNTRY FROM ENGLAND IN THE EARLY 1600s (POSSIBLY 1635) AND SETTLED ABOUT 1660 AT RYE,NEW YORK.THERE WERE FOUR EARLY OGDENS WHO ARRIVED HERE IN THE 1600s,JOHN 'OF RYE",JOHN "THE PILGRIM" WHO SETTLED FIRST AT STAMFORD,CONN,ABOUT 1640,HENCE TO SOUTHAMPTON,LONG ISLAND,AND EVENTUALLY TO ELIZABETHTOWN,NEW JERSEY,WHERE HE WAS ONE OF THE FOUNDERS.ALSO RICHARD OGDEN,BROTHER OF JOHN "THE PILGRIM" WHO SETTLED AT FAIRFIELD,COON.LATER IN 1685 DAVID OGDEN ARRIVED WITH WILLIAM PENN ABOARD THE SHIP,"WELCOME"AND SETTLED AT CHESTER,PA.HE WAS A QUAKER AND HE AND HIS DECENDANTS BECAME KNOWN AS THE "QUAKER OGDENS".
JOHN "THE PILGRIM" AND RICHARD,HIS BROTHER WERE COUSINS TO JOHN "OF RYE".THE TWO JOHNS WERE OFTEN CONFUSED WITH EACH OTHER IN EARLY HISTORICAL MATERIAL SO HISTORIANS LABELED THEM TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING CONFUSED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
NOW,TO TRY TO ANSWER YOUR CONCERN ABOUT DOCUMENTATION.
OFTEN,AS IN YOUR CASE,THE INFORMATION IS RATHER SKIMPY SUCH AS THE EARLY CENSUSES PRIOR TO 1850 BUT THATS ALL THAT THERE IS.NOW,IF WHAT IS DERIVED FROM THEM IS LOGICAL AND MAKES SENSE,IT IS NEARLY ALWAYS TRUE.I BELIEVE THIS IS SO IN YOUR CASE.AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE,WITH THE ADVENT OF THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION,THERE MAY BE 100% PROOF TO PROVE OR DISPROVE THIS,HOWEVER,FOR THE PRESENT THIS IS ALL THERE IS.
