MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
The name Ogborne has been variously spelled Ogborn, Ogbourne and Ogburn.
There was a noted English engraver of this name in 1788.
Mrs. William Van Tine, the Tunis family, at Eatontown, N. J., and John Walton, of Tom's River, N. J., could give additional information about the Monmouth County Ogbornes.
1721, Dec. 18. Letters of guardianship were granted to William Ogborn, as guardian of his sister, Mary Ogborn, by William Burnet, Esq., the Governor.
1841, 4 mo., 18. Ann Ogborn died aged about 82 years. Quaker Records, Burlington, N. J. 1729, Sept. II. Anne Ogburn, of Burlington, licensed to marry Benjamin Butterworth.
The similarity of the names Osborn and Ogborn occasions confusion and creates doubt as to certain individuals:
1754. Samuel Osborn, of Shrewsbury, made his will. In it he mentioned his eldest daugh- ter, Alice Longstreet.
1759. The estate of William Osburn, of Shrewsbury, was inventoried, and among the ap- praisers was Samuel Osburn. The deceased left a large estate.

1765. The inventory of the estate of Ann Ogborn, widow, deceased, so written inside, is endorsed: "Inventory of Ann Osborne, of Monmouth Co. Filed 1765," and amounted to about £50, and included:
"to a silver tankard, Two silver spoons £Io-o-o."
Samuel Longstreet appeared as an executor, and Thomas Bell and Samuel Ogborn, as appraisers. I feel certain that she was an Osborn and not an Ogborne.

The foregoing line is compiled from information contained in the letter of C. H. Ogborn, Esq., of Kingman, Kansas, dated July 26, 1900, to the Rev. W. N. Ogborn, of Hammonton, N. J., and some additions of my own.
Mr. Ogborn further states:
"There is a tradition in the family that the Ogborns were formerly very wealthy potters, in Wales, and drifted from there into England, from whence they were driven, being Quakers, by the persecutions of those good people and that they settled in New Jersey, in 1684. Of this, except that they really were Quakers, I do not know.
If this information proves of interest to you I could give you considerable of information in regard to the younger branches of the family.
I presume all the Ogborns in America are related though a great many generations removed.
There is one branch of the family spelling their name-'Ogburn,' which settled, in the Southern states, long, long ago, coming from England.
Do you know anything of the Ogborns prior to their coming to America?
There are two places named in the Universal Postal Union Directory called 'Ogbourne'-I believe in England-I can find them for you. Perhaps these places were named for some ancient ancestor of ours."
