The other branch went early to New Jersey. East Jersey English settlers were largely from Long Island. It may be that the the name Orange in your family is derived from being in the Oranges region of New Jersey which is where this branch of Ogdens were. I don't have any listing for Orange or Vibbert but most of my interest in Ogden has related to the Rye branch. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
