Dorothy's message was sent to me by a cousin who gets the Pike County mail because she knew I was researching Ogles. And this is my Ogle! THe only thing that confuses me is the father's name, Joseph. I have a booklet that was published for a family reunion in 1949, written by the children of Abraham Alonzo Ogle and Sarah Elizabeth Bowman. They said Alonzo's father was Abraham. You would think that they knew their grandfather's name! According to the booklet, Abraham and Martha Ogle had 4 children: Solomen - died of measles while serving in the Union Army Jacob - died of measles while serving in the Union Army Alonzo - mentioned above Rachel - married Lew Edwin Glines who lived with his mother near the villlage of Fish Hook Another contradiction is that my booklet says Alonzo was born in Beverly Township, Pike County, rather than Adams County, on April 29, 1855. But the marriage date matches up; mine is August 9, 1874. I have a couple questions: Are any of the other Ogles that I mentioned in the book as well? Does anyone have any ideas how there could be so many similiarities and yet so many contradictions? Does anyone have any further info on any of these people? Thanks so much for any help!
