"graduated at Princeton in 1770, ordained by Bishop Seabury, suc- ceeded Mr. Browne in Portsmouth, N. H., from 1756 to 1785. He died at Chestertown, Ind., in 1800." His children were : 309 I. Mary Wooster'^ (b. 1776, d. 1839). This daughter was never married. She spent most of her Hfe in New Haven, Conn., and bequeathed considerable property to the Parish of Trinity Church in that city, where is a tablet to her memory bearing this inscription : 310 2. David.^ 311 3. Aaro7i.^ " ' This Monument is erected by the Parish of Trinity Church as a grateful tribute to the memory of Mary Wooster Ogden, who died on Easter Sunday, A.D. 1839, aged LXIII years. " ' Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.' " The third child of Moses (135) and Mary (Cozzens) Ogden was : 312 iii.

316 vii. Aaron} ®fllrtn=3JoJ|uson 317 viii. David^ (d. 1789). Family-tradition says that he fell in love with his niece Susan Edwards, which, being a hopeless attachment, caused him to become deranged. " He was just ready to be admitted to the New Haven Bar, ordered a full suit of black, dressed himself in it, and shot himself." His Will, dated 1789, in the Probate Registry of New Haven, commences with these words : " In the name of God, sole Governor of all Worlds, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, the Twelve Apostles, Saints, thrones. Powers, Virtues, Angels, Arch Angels, Cherubim and Seraphim—Amen." His principal legatee was his sister-in-law Mrs. Mary (Cozzens) Ogden, to whom he bequeathed all his "worldly Concerns, as Goods, Chatties, Lands, Tennements and Hereditaments, which I, whilst an Inhabitant of this Planet, was in Possession of . . . she first paying . . . Also paying to Susan Edwards, my Lovely Niece, the sum of ^25., New York money, to be lain out for a Mourning dress for her the said Susan, by her the said Susan." All the descents from JONATHAN (5) OGDEN of the second generation, son of "Good old John Ogden," having been thus set forth, with as much of detail and exactness as our information rendered possible, we have next to give the hues of descent from DAVID (6) OGDEN, next younger brother of Jonathan, by his wife Elizabeth (Swayne) Ward. The eldest child of David and Elizabeth (Swayne-Ward) Ogden was : 318 i. David^ (b. 1677, d. 1734) ; called Captain David Ogden, though a lawyer by profession ; of Newark, N. J.; who married Abigail . In the porch of Trinity Church at Newark is the following inscription : " Here lieth interred the Body of Capt. David Ogden, who died July y" ii"", A. D. 1734, aged 56 years." 265*
