Is there a record that documents Ware Oglesby's birth year as 1768? DAR appears to be questioning his service based upon the birth year of 1768. https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/?action=full&p_id=A085830

Ware Oglesby was witness to a Fluvanna County VA deed in 1789 DB 2 pages 327-8.
