Notes for Jonathan OGDEN

---

JONATHAN OGDEN owned the Boar's Head Inn, Chester, Pa., it being a one-and-a-half-story hostelry, where the Delaware House now stands, on Penn St. near Third, south of Chester Creek, and where William Penn passed the winter of 1682-83. Jonathan willed it in 1727 to his sons David and Joseph; it was in the family a long time, and was burned 3 mo. 20, 1848.
Caleb Pusey conveyed to Jonathan Ogden, 2 mo. 3, 1710, 134 acres of land next the original Ogden tract on the southwest. Jonathan, his stepfather, James Thomas, and mother, Martha, conveyed these 134 acres, together with 41 acres of original homestead tract, to Peter Hunter, 7 mo. 30, 1717. Upon these 41 acres was a brick house, doubtless the "new hous" of his father David's will, and which his mother, Martha, must have vacated upon her second marriage, according to the provisions of David's will. James and Martha Thomas were living in Whiteland in 1711.
Jonathan's will was dated 6 mo. 17, 1727, and proved 8 mo. 31, 1727. His father-in-law, George Robinson, and cousin, Jacob Howell, were appointed guardians of his three small children. (See Records of West Chester, Pa.)
