From the research of Elaine Price (elainet at nbnet.nb.ca) : Came to Canada after the Revolution on the ship "Grace"

Apparently moved to New Brunswick in his 70's.

From the research of Kevin Huigens (kevinhuigens at gmail.com): Received two land grants in New Brunswick in 1786. One in Queen's County for 130 acres and one in St. John.

According to the Ogden Family History book cited (pg. 20) his children were James, Robert, Jonathan, Bloomer, and Jane.

He signed his will on 31 December1789 and it was proved 30 March 1790, so he died sometime between those two dates.

May have been born as late as 1712.^[2]
