Today, we will take a short look at the third documented generation of the Ogden family of Yorkshire and eventually New York and Connecticut.

Not a lot is known about this family, either.

Richard Ogden, son of John Ogden and possibly Alice (MNU) was born c1545, probably in Haworth, Yorkshire, England, as that had been the family home for some decades.

About 1564, Richard married Elizabeth (MNU) and they became the parents of an unknown number of children, as richard acknowledged in his will that he had other children, not named, who had already received their portions of his estate.

Children:

1. Edmund, born c1566; died between 24 September 1599-19 December 1599; married Agnes (MNU)
2. Richard, born before 17 April 1576, Bingley, Yorkshire, England; died about 4 March 1629/30; married Unknown (MNU)
