Obviously the Ware Oglesby of the inquiry is the Ware Oglesby, son of William Oglesby and Ann Perkins of the above account. As I am compiling the Perkins descendants, I should like to hear from any of the descendants of William Oglesby and Ann Perkins and from the descendants of William Oglesby and Martha Ellis.

These early generations of the Oglesby family are undoubtedly incomplete. The family lived in New Kent Co., Va., and the records are missing. The Oglesby family is said to be Scottish and the name has also been spelled Ogilvie, Oglivy, and Ogilsvy. The Douglas Register records the mar. of John Moreland and Ann Ogilvy 1775.

An excellent account of the family is given in "My Father's Family," by Mrs. Edith Attkisson Rudder, 1947. (William K. Hall, 1351 Benton Ave., Springfield 2, Missouri.)
