Dan is right - America Ogletree was the daughter of David and Rebekah (Rebecca) Turner Ogletree. David's parents were John Ogletree and his wife (probably Frances). I believe William Ogletree who married Mary (Molly) Bird was David's brother.
Here is the will of America's mother, Rebecca, showing a bequest to America, who was apparently still living at home when her mother died in 1824. The will was transcribed by one of our most respected researchers, Roda Fone.
Will of Rebecca Ogletree, dated 22 April 1824, proved 5 July 1824.
Transcribed by Rhoda Fone from copy of handwritten will.
