Henry’s daughter Sarah Jane - Life in Seneca County NY

Sarah Jane was born in 1800, in New Jersey, and came to Romulus with her father in 1812 as best we can determine.  Sarah married Jonathan Ogden in 1817.  Jonathan Ogden had come to Seneca County in 1817 and became one of the early settlers of Romulus.  As recorded in “The History of Seneca County”, the land on which he resided, though then included in the town of Romulus, is now within the limits of Varick.  In 1843 he moved to the farm where Charles, his son, resided.  There he died in 1874.
Jonathan was a Mason, interested in all that pertained to that occupation, but his time was given principally to teaching, and for thirty years he followed that profession.  Jonathan and Sarah had two children, one of them named Charles born 1818.  We have not yet found information on the other child.

Sarah Jane passed away in 1875.  Both she and Jonathan died in Varick, and are buried in Union Cemetery, Ovid, Seneca County, NY.
