(VII) Jonathan, son of John and Jane (Bond) Ogden, and twin brother of David, was 
born in England, January 11, 1639, died January 3, 1732, aged ninety-three years.  
The only mention of his name in the Southampton records bears date October 21, 
1664, when he was witness to a deed. The following year he removed with the family 
to New Jersey, settling at Elizabethtown, and was one of the original associates.  On 
February 19, 1665, he took oath of allegiance to Charles II, and was then called one 
of the "5 full grown boys" of Good Old John Ogden.  Probably in December, 1667, he 
joined with others in petitioning the governor and council to have their lands laid out 
to them according to agreement made with the inhabitants;  in 1673 he took the oath 
of allegiance to the Dutch government of new York; in 1676 he applied to the 
surveyor-general, or his deputy, asking that one hundred and twenty acres of land be 
laid out to him; and on November 10, 1678, a considerable amount of land was 
granted him by Philip Carteret, governor, in the name of Sir George Carteret, all of 
which, as well as his house lot, receives clear and minute description.  He was 
appointed overseer of his father's will on November 21, 1681.  In 1692 he was 
receiver of taxes for Essex County, New Jersey.  In 1693 he was one of the petitioners 
to the English King concerning grievances under the government in the colonies.  He 
was a zealous churchman, contributing in 1678 and later, in connection with his 
brother, John, to the minister's support; and in 1691 he is called Deacon Jonathan 
Ogden, being named as one of the largest contributors to the support of the church.  
On December 26, 1690, he assisted John Harriman, who had been chosen surveyor, in 
assigning their respective shares to the property holders of Elizabethtown, and on 
several occasions joined with others in the forcible administration of the too frequently 
delayed justice in the colonies.  His will was probated January 9, 1732, six days after 
his death, and he was buried at Elizabeth.  

          His wife, Rebekah, whose maiden name was probably Wood, was born in 
November, 1648, died September 11, 1723.  Children:  1. Jonathan, mentioned below.
