Jesse Oglesby, Y-DNA-step 2 match

Other Events and Attributes:

• Research Notes: 28 Feb 2013; Y-DNA step 2 match

Notes:

Research Notes:
In 2009 when John had his YDNA test the results came back as match in 37 and 67 tests. No common denominator was found. On Feb 27, 2013, a tester in the Oglesby group, Richard Arthur (Oglesby) Wilson, was a match to him in the 37, with a step 2 match. As it turned out, the Sheltons married into the Oglesby line with the marriage of Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby to Mary Elizabeth Shelton. She was sister to Lucinda Shelton who was mother of Winfield Scott Shelton whose descendant was the Shelton test. See notes on Gustavus, but he is likely the father of Lucinda's child, Winfield Scott, thus the Shelter tester and the Olgesby tester matching. Jesse is the great-uncle of Gustavas.

Jesse married Celia Witt on 15 Sep 1794 in Amherst Co, Virginia. Celia was born in May 1779 in Amherst, Amherst Co, Virginia; died on 3 Mar 1855 in Richmond, Madison Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Richard Arthur descends from Jesse Oglesby; and Gustavas descends from Contant, Sr., Jesse and Contant being brothers, Jacob Oglesby being their father, making Jesse the great-uncle of Gustavas.

Jacob^ married Ann Bailey on 14 Feb 1760 in St. James Northam, Goochland Co, Virginia. Ann was born about 1740 in of, Goochland or Albemarle Co, Virginia; died before 1780 in of, Albemarle Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Military: Revolutionary War

Notes:

Military:
from Betty Wilson:
I've gone back and looked at Jesse?s Revolutionary War papers and he served the first time in place of his nephew Richard Perkins who was married at the time (Dec. 1783). There was another Jesse Oglesby at the time and I think he may have them mixed up, but I don?t know for sure. Also, a descendant from Pleasant Oglesby said there was some kind of comment about Pleasant visiting his brother Jesse or Jesse visiting Pleasant . . . can?t remember exactly what it was.

Jacob^ married Constant^ Christian in 1726 in Goochland, Goochland Co, Virginia. Constant^ (daughter of Thomas^ Christian and Rebecca^ Steth) was born in 1709 in Henrico Co, Virginia; died after 1740 in Henrico Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Many trees show wife to be Constance Perkins.

With respect to Jacob and Constant, I've done quite a bit of research on this. At first I thought it was Constance Perkins but I?m certain it is not. I have seen a lot of trees on Ancestry.com that claim it's Constance Perkins but I don?t believe that. Thomas Christian was an adjacent landowner of Richard Oglesby, Jacob's father, (as confirmed through land grant records) and he had a daughter named Constant. I have a copy of Thomas' will and he names Constant as a daughter. Additionally, we have a relative named Mary Christian Oglesby, daughter of Jacob Oglesby (son of Jacob Oglesby and Constant) and his wife Mildred Martin. Mary Christian married Coleman Estes. I have a copy of Coleman's will and in that will Mary?s middle name is confirmed as ?Christian.? It was not uncommon for girls back then to take the grandmother's maiden name as the middle name (this happened elsewhere in the Oglesby tree - e.g., Elizabeth Dancy Cole). Based on this evidence I think it?s pretty certain that Constant Christian is the wife of Jacob Oglesby, son of Richard.

Richard^ married Susannah^ Ware on 19 Sep 1717 in Henrico Co, Virginia. Susannah^ was born in 1693 in St. Peters, New Kent Co, Virginia; died on 5 May 1735 in Goochland, Goochland Co, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
