John and David Ogden - Revolutionary War Veteran Graves - Brothers in Life, in Arms and in Death - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

Both headstones have a metal disk inserted denoting that they were Revolutionary War soldiers.

Ogden was a very common family name and the name John Ogden seems to be extremely common. This made it difficult to find much information on these particular Ogdens. In performing internet searches, I was only able to find these particular Ogdens in a couple of family trees.

Thier parents were Samuel Ogden and Phoebe (Baldwin) from Middleground (a section near Orange, NJ). John Ogden married Elizabeth McGee and had 6 children. I could find no marriage or children for David Ogden.
