| 1. | Elizabeth Wallaston was born 9 Oct 1650, Tettenhall, Staffordshire, England (daughter of John Wollaston and Mary); died 1713. Other Events:
Notes:
Some genealogists have recorded Elizabeth's maiden name as Wollaston but no
evidence has been located to substantiate this assumption. Elizabeth
apparently was a woman of good sense and competent in managing her affairs and
looking out for her sons Thomas and John. New Castle court records show that
she was titheable, living on the north side of Christiana Creek, assessed with
1,000 acres.
In 1684 Elizabeth Ogle became a historical figure by her involvement in the
border dispute between Lord Baltimore and William Penn. Samuel Land, Sherrif
of New Castle, sent a letter dated 30 May 1684 to Penn, reporting that Jones
Erskine and Andrew Tilley, who lived near the Widow Ogle had been warned by
Colonel Talbott, under orders from Lord Baltimore, that if they did not yield
obedience to Lord Baltimore, he would not yield obediance to Lord Baltimore, he
would in three weeks' time return and turn them out. On his return he erected
a fort near Christiana Bridge, six miles from New Castle. This location is now
marked by a bronze tablet - a State Historical marker. The differences of Lord
Baltimore and William Penn were settle, and Penn retained what had been claimed
by the Governor.
