    • AFN: M909-5C

    Notes:

    A marriage record is recorded in the parish book of the Holy Trinity Church (formerly Old Swedes Church) in New Castle County, Delaware for Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Robeson. (Another record for Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Davis is also registered in 1764).

    According to the note of Dr. Simeon Todd (deceased), "Hercules Ogle, Thomas Ogle, John Ogle and their sister Lucretia Ogle and husband Abraham Stroud moved from Delaware to Southwest Virginia in 1763, but stayed only about a year because Indian troubles drove them out. They moved across the border into North Carolina."

    All these deeds are recorded in Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. From Deed Book 6, page 164, "Andrew Smith & wife Anna to Thomas Ogle, groom, for 60 pounds, 320 acres on Cabin Creek on East side of Gunsmith's path," granted 15 July 1760. Recorded 21 July 1764. Tests: George Magsune, William McConnell.

    This same 320 acres of land in Rowan County, which Thomas Ogle bought from Andrew Smith and wife Anna, was divided among his three sons; Thomas Ogle Jr., Hercules Ogle, and William Ogle.

    18 Feb 1793 Thomas Ogle to Thomas Ogle Jr. 100a
    30 July 1793 Thomas Ogle to Hercules Ogle 120a
    19 Oct 1795 Thomas Ogle to William Ogle 100a
    ------
    320a

    In "North Carolina Genealogy", there are several Rowan County, North Carolina Tax Lists for 1760's. Only "John Ford's List of Taxables for the Year 1768" listed Thomas Ogle.

    On 23 May 1769, Thomas Ogle of Rowan County, North Carolina sold 67 acres on Little River, a branch of New River, to William Murphy. This deed was duly recorded in Augusta County, Virginia.

    There is found in "New River Tithables", complied by Mary B. Kegley, the "List of a W. Herbert - 1772". On this list, Thomas Ogle appears with three tithables. The three tithables would include himself and two oldest sons, John and Thomas Ogle.

    Thomas Ogle is listed as 1 tithable, no slaves, three horses, 13 cattle and owning land in the 1782 tax list of Montgomery County, Virginia.

    In "Montgomery County, Virginia-Circa 1790", Transcribed and edit by Nettie Schreiner-Yantis, the "Personal Property Tax List A-1789" gives this information: "27 Apr 1790-Thomas Ogle with 1 white males-16 years to 21 years, no slaves, and six horses." The one white male listed above would be the youngest son, James Ogle.

    In Montgomer County, Virginia Survey Book "D", Thomas Ogle bought 140 acres of land on both sides of Little Reed Island Creek, 27 Nov 1789 from Thomas Black.

    This area was part of Grayson County, Virginia when Thomas Ogle died. Today it is in Carroll County, Virginia.

    This was the same land that Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth deeded to their youngest son, James Ogle on 10 Jan 1801. The deed was proven in March 1803 after Thomas Ogle's death.

    During the 1780's and 1790's, Thomas ogle and his wife Elizabeth were living in Montgomery County, Virginia; then Wythe County, Virginia, and later Grayson County, Virginia. At that time, the land that Thomas and Elizabeth Ogle deeded to Thomas Jr. and Hercules Ogle in 1793, and to William Ogle in 1795 was located in rowan County, North Carolina. This apparently accounts for the fact that in his will, Thomas Ogle left only one dollar ($1.00) each to his children.

    Thomas Ogle's will was dated 2 March 1802 and was probated at the March Court 1803 of Grayson County, Virginia. In his will, he mentions his wife Elizabeth and names his children. There is no land mentioned. Elizabeth is to have all movable property and each son and daughter is to have one dollar with the exception of Hannah who is willed one cow.

    Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth, are believed to be buried in the large Ogle Cemetery on Peavine Ridge just outside of Hillsville.

    Notes:

    John Ogle was of age in 1772, for he was listed as a tithable with his father,
    Thomas Ogle, in that year (NEW RIVER TITHABLES compiled by Mary B. Kegley).

    John Ogle fought in the Revolutionary War. He is listed as a volunteer and
    served in Captain Johathan Isom's Company in the militia of Montgomery County,
    Virginia. No data is given when the company was formed (MILITIA of MONTGOMERY
    COUNTY, VIRGINIA compiled by Mary B. Kegley).

    John Ogle is listed as 1 tithe, no slaves, two horses, seven cattle, and
    owning land in the 1782 Tax List of Montgomery County, Virginia.

    In the VIRGINIA TAX PAYERS 1782-1785 by Augusta B. Fothergill, John Ogle is
    listed as 1 poll in Montgomery County, Virginia.

    It is found in MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA-CIRCA 1790, transcribed and edited
    by Netti Schreiner-Yantis, that John Ogle is listed as a white male over 21
    years, with four horses, on 20 Aug 1789. Also from same book, he was found
    living in the area of Big Reed Island Creek, Big Snake, and Burk's Frok, at
    that time.

    So sometime between 1790 and 1800, he moved to South Carolina where his
    brothers, Thomas and William Ogle were living. John Ogle with his family was
    living in Edgefield County, South Carolina in 1800 (1800 Federal Census of
    Edgefield County, South Carolina).

    Next we find John Ogle in Grainger County, Tennessee in 1804. John Ogle bought
    115 acres of land "on the north side of Clinch mountain on Puncheon Camp Creek
    in the State and County aforesaid, it bin g part of a tract of land, Granted by
    the State of North Carolina to Joseph Cobb No. 823" from his brother, Hercules
    Ogle on 21 July 1804. This deed was recorded in Deed Book "A", page 340 at
    Rutledge, Tennessee (county seat of Grainger County, Tennessee).

    Tax Lists of Grainger County, Tennessee for 1805, 1806, and 1808 reveal John
    Ogle with 1 white poll and 115 acres of land.

    On 27 July 1808 in Grainger County, Tennessee, John Ogle sold 115 acres of land
    that he bought from his brother Hercules Ogle, to David Watson.

    It is believed that John Ogle and his family left Grainger County, Tennessee
    circa 1808 and moved to White County, Tennessee. Traditions say he migrated to
    Kentucky and Indiana from here.

    Notes:

    Thomas Ogle Jr. was of age in 1772, for he was listed as a tithable with his father, Thomas Ogle, in that year (NEW RIVER TITHABLES compiled by Mary B. Kegley).

    From "Rowan County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1773-1786", Thomas Ogle, with his brothers Hercules and William Ogle, is listed in "Names of Persons who have not taken the Oath of Allegiance in Captain Cox's District." The date of the entry at that time is 1778. It is believed that he did serve in the American Revolutionary War.

    Thomas Ogle Jr. and his two brothers, Hercules and William Ogle, were listed in Captain Cox's District, 1778 Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina.

    In 1785, Thomas Ogle is listed with 1 poll on the tax list of Wilkes County, Georgia. Also, his brother William Ogle, and Peter Huskey, brother-in-law of William Ogle, appear on the same list.

    Next Thomas Ogle is found, again with his brother William Ogle and Peter Huskey, in Edgefield District, South Carolina. They are listed in the 1790 Federal Census for that district.

    In 1793, an excerpt from Rowan County, North Carolina Deed Book 13, page 285 reveals "This Indenture made the 18th day of February in the year of our Lord 1793 between Thomas Ogle of the one part and Thomas Ogle (Junior) of the other part, both of the County of Withe and State of Virginia..." This deed is for 100 acres of land lying in St. Luke Parish of Rowan County, North Carolina.

    In August 1793, Thomas Ogle Jr. sold the tract of land (100 acres) to Mark Cole of Rowan County, North Carolina. At that time, Thomas Ogle Jr. was living in Wythe County, Virginia (later Grayson County) when he executed the deed. It is recorded in Rowan County, North Carolina Deed Book 13, page 394/96.

    On 1 December 1796, Thomas Ogle Jr. bought 68 acres of land from the state of South Carolina. This was granted in December 1796. Also he bought four acres of land on 15 June 1801, and it was granted in July 1801. These tracts of land were located in the Ninety-six District (Edgefield District). All these records are located in the State Archives, Columbia, South Carolina.

    On 21 December 1801 in Edgefield District, South Carolina, Thomas Ogle Jr. sold his land (130 acres) to Moses Fendley. This tract of land was situated on "land of James Atkinsons Y Hardy Cornet on waters Rockey Creek water of Stephens Creek and Savannah River, bounded by Northwest by Gebar Land, Southwest by George Hagood, Northeast, Southwest & Southeast by James Hagood lands."

    It is believed that Thomas Ogle Jr. then took his family to Kentucky. Family traditions say that Thomas Ogle and his wife, Isabella Wilson died and were buried in Kentucky.

    The children of Thomas and Isabella Wilson Ogle migrated to Crawford and Jefferson Counties, Missouri before 1830.

    Notes:

    Hercules Ogle was of age in 1782, for he was listed as a tithable in that year
    (TAX LIST of MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA - 1782, compiled by Mary B. Kegley).

    In "Rowan County, North Carolina Cour Minutes 1773-1786", Hurcules Ogle, with
    his brothers Thomas and William Ogle, is listed in "Names of Persons who have
    not taken the Oath of Allegiance in Captain Cox's District." The date of that
    entry is 1778.

    Hercules Ogle volunteered to serve in Captain Jonathan Isom's Company in the
    militia of Montgomery County, Virginia for the Revoluntionary War. No date is
    given when the company was formed (MILITIA of MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VIRGINIA,
    compiled by Mary B. Kegley).

    Hercules Ogle and his two brothers, Thomas Jr. and William Ogle, were listed in
    Captain Cox's District, 1778 Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina.

    Hercules Ogle is listed as 1 tithe, no slaves, three horses, seven cattle, and
    owning land in the 1782 tax list of Montgomery County, Virginia.

    In "Virginia Tax Payers 1782-1785" by Augusta B. Fothergill, Hercules Ogle is
    listed as 1 poll in Montgomery County, Virginia.

    From "Montgomery County, Virginia - Circa 1790", transcribed and edited by
    Netti Shreiner-Yantis, Hercules Ogle is listed as white male over 21 years,
    with three horses, on 24 Apr 1790.

    In the Montgomery County, Virginia Survey Book "D", Hercules Ogle bought 110
    acres of land on Little Reed Island Creek adjacent to Bell on 27 Nov 1789 from
    Thomas Black.

    On 24 Apr 1789, Hercules Ogle was living in the Little Reed Island Creek and
    Crooked Creek area - Montgomery County, Virginia.

    In 1793, an excerpt from Rowan County, North Carolina Deed Book 13, pages
    296/97 reveals "This Indenture made this the 30th day of July in the year of
    Lord 1793 Between Thomas Ogle of the County of Greyson and State of Virginia of
    the one part & Hercules Ogle of the same County and State aforesaid of the
    other part..." This deed contains 120 acres of land lying on the waters of
    Cabbin Creek on both sides of Gun Smith Path in the county of Rowan and state
    of North Carolina. No records of the disposal of the land was found.

    In 1797, Thomas Ogle deeded an undetermined number of acres of land to Hercules
    and Sarah Ogle on the waters of Little Reed Island Creek in Grayson County,
    Virginia (Deed Book "I", p 135). At the same time, Hercules and Sarah Ogle
    deeded the same tract of land back to Thomas Ogle in Grayson County, Virginia.

    Next we find Hercules bought 237 acres of land "on the north side of Clinch
    Mountain on the waters of Puncheon Camp Creek and joining the lines with David
    Bunch, John Bunch, Cain Acuff and Long John Acuff" from Joseph Cobb in Grainger
    County, Tennessee.

    On 21 July 1804, Hercules sold 115 acres of the 237 acres of land in the same
    location to his brother, John Ogle.

    On 19 Feb 1805, Hercules Ogle bought an additional 237.5 acres of land "on the
    side of Clinch Mountain on the waters of Puncheon Camp Creek" from Joseph Cobb
    in Grainger County, Tennessee.

    Hercules Ogle with his two sons, Hercules Ogle Jr. and Thomas Ogle, are listed
    on the tax lists of Grainger County, Tennessee during the period of 1804 to
    1810.

    Hercules Ogle and his son, Thomas Ogle, are listed in the 1810 Federal Census
    of Grainger County, Tennessee.

    On 20 Feb 1811, Hercules Ogle sold the remaining part of his land to his son
    Thomas Ogle and moved to White County, Tennessee.

    From THE GODSPEED HISTORIES OF CANNON, COFFEE, DeKALB, WARREN, and WHITE
    COUNTIES, The Ben Lomon Press, McMinnville, Tennessee, one of the earliest
    settlers in White County, Tennessee is Hercules Ogle during 1800/15.

    During 1812 to 1826, Hercules Ogle served as a juror of White County,
    Tennessee. Hercules Ogle is listed on several tax lists of White County,
    Tennessee from 1811 through 1826.

    Hercules Ogle and his wife, Sarah, appear in the 1820 Federal Census of White
    County, Tennessee. It is believed that Hercules Ogle and his wife, Sarah died
    between 1826 and 1830 in White County, Tennessee.

The date of the entry is 1778. Family traditions say that he served in the Revolutionary War.

    William Ogle and his brothers, Thomas Jr. ad Hercules Ogle, were listed in Captain Cox's District, 1778 Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina.

    Some records say William Ogle was an Indian trader, other say that he was a minister of the gospel. In the deeds from Rowan County, North Carolina, he described himself as a planter or yeoman.

    In 1785 William and his family were living in Wilkes County, Georgia, according to "1785 Tax List of Wilkes County, Georgia". They settled in Edgefield District, South Carolina, prior to 1790. He was listed as the head of household in 1790 and 1800 Federal Census of Edgefield District, South
    Carolina.

    On 19 Oct 1795, Thomas Ogle of Grayson County, Virginia deeded 100 acres of land in Rowan County, North Carolina, to "William Ogle of Edgefield County, state of South Carolina". William later sold this same tract of land to Mark Cole and Jacob Skeene on 30 Oct 1795 (Deed Book 14, p 178 and p 179/80).

    On 7 March 1796, William Ogle added to his holdings in Edgefield District, South Carolina, another 100 acres of land purchased from George Hagood. This land was situated on "the branches of Rockey Creek, waters of Savannah River" (Deed Book 13, p 198).

    Family traditions say William Ogle had planned to migrate to Tennessee. But at that time, there was an epidemic of a most dreaded disease in the backcountry of South Carolina. It is believed that before William Ogle could make arrangements to dispose of his land, he contracted this disease and died.

    Other sources say he built the first known structure in the Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee area. They say he hunted with Indian friends in the area and decided to build a cabin and move his family there. He cut and hewed the logs, and then returned home "to grow a crop" in order to bring supplies for his family's survival for some time. While there, an epidemic of malaria broke out and William died of the fever.

    Between the date of his will, 26 Feb 1803, and the date of probate, 5 March 1803, William Ogle died and was survived by his wife, Martha and his children, five sons and two daughters. He is buried in the Fruit Hill area.

    In his will William said, "I give unto my son Harculous Ogle that Hundred Acres of Land he Now lives. Also the remainder of the Land is to be Divided among four Boys except a Child's Share which I give unto My beloved Wife Polly Ogle (Martha in the 1811 deed). Also I give unto my beloved daughter Rebecca (Mc) Carter a cow and Calf, bed and furniture, Pot and Some other furniture. Also I
    give unto my beloved grandson William (Mc) Carter a young sow. Also the rest of the property to be Equally among all the rest of my children except my beloved Wife which draws a Child's share." His will was recorded in Edgefield County, South Carolina, Will Book "A", box 22, #783.
