A 1907 book The Ogden family in America, Elizabethtown branch, and their English ancestry; John Ogden, the Pilgrim, and his descendants, 1640–1906 by William Ogden Wheeler, is very full and accurate for events after their arrival in America, quoting many original documents, but has the fraudulent genealogy mentioned above.[1]
No fewer than eight of his descendants with the surname Ogden appear in the Dictionary of American Biography, besides many with other surnames. Two members of the Ogden family appear as millionaires in the American Millionaire Registry of 1892, making them billionaires in 2022 money.[7][8]
