Abraham Ogden (December 30, 1743 – January 31, 1798) was an American lawyer and politician who served as U.S. Attorney for
the District of New Jersey from 1791 to 1798 and negotiated the Treaty of New York in 1796. Ogden was born in Newark, New
Jersey in 1743. He was the third son of David Ogden and Gertrude (Gouverneur) Ogden. His father was a noted jurist and a
member of the supreme court for the royal province of New Jersey before the Revolutionary War. He trained as a lawyer,
establishing his practice in Morristown, New Jersey. He was appointed Surrogate of Morris County in 1768.
Among those who studied law at his Morristown office were Richard Stockton (later United States Senator from New Jersey) and
Josiah Ogden Hoffman (later New York State Attorney General). The latter was his nephew, the son of his sister Sarah Ogden
Hoffman (1742-1821), who married Nicholas Hoffman (1736-1800).
During the Revolutionary War, Ogden and his brother Samuel sided with the Patriots, while their father David and brothers Isaac,
Nicholas and Peter sided with the Loyalists. He befriended George Washington, who often visited the family residence while the
Continental Army was quartered in Morristown. During that time his young son Thomas Ludlow Ogden wounded General
Washington's hand in a fencing bout, in what is believed to be the only injury suffered by Washington in the course of the war.
After the war, Ogden settled in Newark. He represented Essex County in the New Jersey General Assembly in 1790. In 1791
President Washington appointed him U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, a position he served until his death. Washington
also appointed him Commissioner to the Indians in Northern New York, and he led the delegation that negotiated the Treaty of New
York with the Seven Nations of Canada in 1796.
Ogden died in 1798 in Newark.
Ogden married Sarah Frances Ludlow (1744-1823) on December 22, 1767. They had 13 children:
David A. Ogden (1770-1829), U.S. Representative from New York
Catharine L. Ogden (1771-1814); m. Bro. Abijah Hammond; St. George’s Lodge No. 6
Charles L. Ogden (1772-1826)
Thomas Ludlow Ogden (1773-1844)
Abraham Ogden (1775-1846)
Gertrude G. Ogden (1777-?)
Gouverneur Ogden (1778-1851)
William Ogden (1780-1801)
Sarah F.L. Ogden (1782-1849)
Margaretta E. Ogden (1783-1834)
Isaac Ogden (1784-1867)
Samuel N. Ogden (1787-1787)
Frances S. Ogden (1788-1824)
Ogden's brother Samuel Ogden (1746-1810) served as a Colonel of the New Jersey Militia during the Revolutionary War, and was
later prominent in the iron business. In 1775, he married Euphemia Morris (1754-1818), a sister of Gouverneur Morris. After
Abraham Ogden served as Commissioner to the Indians in Northern New York, he and Samuel Ogden, along with Gouverneur
